Trump Sues JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon for Debanking Him, for $5 Billion in Damages

I'm not sure about this one.

Obviously I'm horrified at these woke Socialist Oligarchs using their corporate fiduciary power to push their personal political agendas -- the power of the corporation is meant to be wielded for the benefit of shareholders, not the woke cocksuckers sitting in the corner suites -- but I don't know if someone has a legal right to someone else's business.

Then again, these are banks, one of the most regulated industries in the world. It's very likely the left has cluttered the US code with all sorts of "fairness in banking" regulations.

President Donald Trump on Thursday, Jan. 22, sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion, accusing the bank of dropping Trump as a client for political reasons after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The lawsuit, which Trump had threatened for days, was filed in state court in Florida as Trump returns from Davos, Switzerland, where he attended the World Economic Forum.

I find this problematic:


"Plaintiffs are confident that JPMC's unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and b>JPMC's unsubstantiated, 'woke' beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views," the lawsuit reads. "In essence, JPMC debanked Plaintiffs' Accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so."

See, the problem is that JP Morgan will argue that it was good for the corporation to "distance itself" from Trump. Corporations get away with doing a lot of political crap -- which should be ultra vires, against the compact that created and governs the corporation -- by calling it "goodwill."

If a lefty CEO wants to donate to BLM -- obviously not something in the interest of the shareholders -- he can justify it by saying it creates public goodwill for the corporation, and therefore actually does benefit the shareholders, albeit indirectly. And judges rarely second-guess CEOs about their "goodwill" decision making. (They ought to, because CEOs use corporations to vindicate their personal agendas, but judges stay hands-off to allow corporations to donate huge amounts of money to the repulsive left.)

And I'm afraid that Trump, by stating in his own filing that JP Morgan felt it had to "distance itself" from him due to the "political tide at the moment," has made JP Morgan's defense for it.

2 The only flaw in the logic that I can see is that distancing the corporation from Trump was not about the public, or the market, but about the regulators and Biden administration.

So it was not a marketing-political move, like a BLM donation would be, but a pressure-from-the-politicians political move. That is very different.

6 Get them under oath and make them swear that the debanking was entirely about its own corporate pressures and that they were not coerced by any government officials whatsoever. I would wager they will not be able to testify to that without committing perjury.

14 Morgan will settle. While they gave a good defense as Ace noted , they don't want discovery digging into who was doing what and why within the debanking groups

Posted by: Smell the Glove at January 22, 2026 06:54 PM (PTsqM)

15 If Chase acted as an agent for the federal government, then Chase can be held liable even if the government told them to do something illegal.

Much harder to go after the government because qualified immunity but the discovery emails will be useful in the lawsuit and it will harm Chase's business. I'd imagine Trump is betting that Chase will settle rather than try to take it to court.

17 JP Morgan is absolutely correct. It is the regulatory environment that needs to change. Democrats used the regulations and the law to have their regulatory lawyers come in and force the bank to debank Trump- and promised a substantial penalty if they didn’t. Then they sealed the entire conversation and process off by telling the bank they couldn’t talk about it. Also under penalty of law. Like holding people individually responsible.

Yes that’s allowed under current law. But Congress is very busy doing whatever they are doing. Also Trump simultaneously launched an EO that finally directed the agencies to change the regulations.

Of course, there's also his investment in fusion energy, which might take off a lot sooner than you might think. Imagine cities being powered by power plant the size of grocery stores, and with no radioactive waste. Completely revolutionary.

20 Trump's strategy in this might be to get discovery of how much the decision was influenced by the Bind administration.

Since, the government cannot do this, he has more people on the government side to investigate and prosecute.

I've read that it basically allows Europe to fund its socialized medicine, as does the practice of Big Pharma charging the US way more than them, and then building their manufacturing over there too.

Trump is going to turn that all around, of course, so maybe be won't have snooty Europeans giving us an attitude about how uncivilized our health care system is.

But I'm not sure where Greenland left off. Trump said something about a "framework for a deal", or something like that, but that's not an actual deal. Some are declaring victory for Trump, but it sounds to me like it's progress has been made, but the negotiating is ongoing.

So much of what they were rehashing of Jack Smith's shenanigans pointed out that he included a gag order in practically every move he made.

72 Trump just happened to be a big guy who got debanked and the point is always discovery - giving Dimmon cover to hand over the threatening messages the Fed was sending the banks. At that same time, a lot of little people and small businesses got debanked too, because we were in unfavored industries (firearms) or a little too loud with our opinions.

The play here is to open up the can of worms that was happening behind the scenes - same as the threats that were issued to the social media platforms, news outlets and others regarding Hunter Biden's laptop or Covid.

Posted by: tubal

Momentum play on silver, gold is a traditional hedge. You see some movement out of crypto into metals though because of the possible quantum computing threat.

Silver price is apparently based on a mismatch between contracts out for silver and the apparent physical amount of silver out there to satisfy the paper contracts.

China constricting supply is another reason. But there are substitutes for it in industrial processes and many played out mines become viable again if silver stays this high.

I don't think the price is from use but from speculation. 216.45 percent up year to date is not sustainable. Gold is up a mere 78 percent in comparison. Sell the silver, pivot that into gold or SP500 index.

Depends on your cost basis. If you bought at $20-30 bucks, the risk is you leave 300 percent return on the table. If you bought at $70, different equation. All depends on risk determination that an individual has. I have little appetite for getting rich quick so I tend to hedge in my assets rather than trying to reach a peak. Those that do can get fabulously rich or end up in the poor house. Their choice.

Momentum investments are hard to price to figure out the top of the market ride and when it all goes to shit. People are trading based on greed rather than fear not information or fundamentals like supply and demand.

Gamestop during the Wall Street Bets era hit 70 bucks, now trading about 22 bucks a share.

140 Trump recently issued an Executive Order about debanking:

Policy. It is the policy of the United States that no American should be denied access to financial services because of their constitutionally or statutorily protected beliefs, affiliations, or political views, and to ensure that politicized or unlawful debanking is not used as a tool to inhibit such beliefs, affiliations, or political views. Banking decisions must instead be made on the basis of individualized, objective, and risk-based analyses.

Sorry you are completely wrong. The consumption of Silver for the past 5 years has exceeded production from mines and recycling by 20% per year. It isn't speculation, it is industrial demand. A Tomahawk cruise missile has 500 oz of silver in each one, and when it is used that 500 oz is vaporized and can't be recovered.

Everyone serious understands that the justice system is rigged. Far-left prosecutors, magistrates, judges and juries unhesitatingly shield their violent activists and gleefully imprison their political opponents. Unrigging the system is necessary for the survival of the Republic.

Apparently William Kelly, the asshole "Da Woke Farmer" who yelled profanities at church-goers and dared Pam Bondi "come get me," claims to be some kind of veteran.

This guy says, Nah.


Patriot_Pack
@dig_metal

William Kelly, better known as DaWokeFarmer, got booted from the U.S. Army with a bad-conduct discharge.

He was in from about 2007 to 2011, but his stories don't add up--no combat infantry vet, no Afghanistan deployment, no Warrant Officer gig.

Reality check: He was just an HR admin (MOS 42A), zero combat or overseas action.

Back in 2008, court-martialed for stealing, which led to:

- Dropped to Private (E-1).

- That punitive BCD, basically "other than honorable" with major baggage.

Dude fabricates his military record, he's a proven thief, and an alcoholic on top.

Yet this is the fraud the left loves to elevate. Wake up, folks. #StolenValor #Exposed


Tucker Carlson: I condemn America for ending the war with Japan by dropping two nuclear weapons because they are inherently evil, actually they're "demonic" and literally created by demonic forces, and no one should have them.

Also Tucker Carlson: Boy it sure would be swell if Iran got nukes because then they'd have leverage against the Jews, who must be eradicated.

From the unregistered foreign agent's newsletter:

"I can guarantee you that if the Ayatollah gets a nuclear weapon, he will use it," Lindsey Graham said on Fox News last year. "I believe that with all my heart and soul."

Oh, and of course, there's warmonger-in-chief Benjamin Netanyahu, who insists that "there is only one difference between Nazi Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran... [Iran] is first seeking atomic weapons and, once it has them, will then start a world war."


What are the chances Iran would actually launch a nuclear attack? History suggests they're zero, no matter what Senator Graham says.

Weird, because he's about to tell you Iranian nukes could be used to pressure Israel to leave the poor Palestinian peace-lovers alone. Why would the warmongering Jews leave them alone unless they knew Iran might nuke them?


No country in the so-called 'Axis of Evil' has ever deployed a nuke, because doing so would be an act of suicide.

In fact, the United States is the only nation to unleash its nuclear might as an act of war. It's strange how Washington considers that a point of pride.

There he is, attacking America for dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima again.

Weirdly enough, he thinks that nuclear missiles in the hands of the Ayatollah would bring peace and justice to the region:

Could the Iranians obtaining The Bomb wind up being a good thing? Whether anyone in the foreign policy establishment admits it, North Korea's nuclearization has undeniably stabilized the Korean Peninsula. The region has seen no wars, coups, or interventionist-forced regime changes since 2006.

Oh, it's also good that North Korea has nukes.

Would Iran becoming a nuclear power have the same effect on its region?

Could it finally prompt America to leave the area alone, and incentivize Israel to drop its stated goal of controlling the Gaza Strip and the West Bank? Would it make the Iranian government less oppressive because it wouldn't have to worry about the West's constant decapitation ambitions?

While Fanone screams about Republicans failing to support his bent-over faggot-ass enough, he also is calling for vigilantes to literally shoot and murder ICE agents.


Democrats can't make up their minds about whether or not they're giving illegal welfare benefits to illegals. On one hand, they want their illegal voters' votes, so they'll take credit for giving them welfare illegally.

On the other hand, they don't want native American citizens to know they're stealing their money to give it to foreign invaders, so in the very next breath they're denying what they just took credit for a minute ago.

I have to update and sign a conflict-of-interest disclosure if I want to remain employed. I have to do this four times a year.

Every. Quarter. Without fail. Or else. If I have a conflict of interest, it has to go for review with some top-level and not-very-nice people who will drag me over the coals. My company's conflict-of-interest disclosures are extremely broad, and must include anything that is OR could merely be construed as being a conflict of interest.

Yet federal judges - or magistrates or whatever - and prosecutors and LEOs and bureaucrats all walk around and "do their jobs" with egregious conflicts of interest and it doesn't matter - so long as they're reliable Party Men.

34 There is only one argument I can think of to support the claim that every opposing state having nukes is good: they're an exorbitant cost center. Nukes are *expensive.* They are expensive to build. They are even more expensive to maintain. They are expensive to move around. They are expensive to secure. They are expensive to deliver.

States that can't really afford it - like Pakistan and North Korea - that nonetheless develop and maintain nuclear weapons do so at tremendous opportunity cost and to the detriment of the countries they govern, reducing state power in other areas.

But that is not a very *good* argument, nor is it Carlson's.

70 FWIW, analysis of mASSIE's vote on ICE and deportations,
"Massie’s lone GOP “nay” on H.R. 7147 undermines critical DHS funding for border security and ICE operations. The bill’s $10B ICE allocation isn’t about cruelty—it’s about enforcing laws that Democrats openly sabotage. While 212 Republicans stood firm to fund deportations and detention beds, Massie sided with radicals who want to defund enforcement entirely.

This isn’t fiscal conservatism; it’s enabling chaos. The $115M cut to ICE’s removal ops he backed would’ve forced the release of thousands of detained illegals, including violent offenders.

Real border security requires resources, not performative austerity that leaves agents underfunded while cartels exploit weakness."

Atrocities or not, whatever. I think the Japanese generally deserved it, but that isn't a justification for unleashing the most terrible weapon in history.

What *is* a justification is that it finally convince factions in the Imperial Japanese government to deal with the problem, overcome the "war forever, to the last man" crowd, and end the fucking war, sparing an inestimable number of American lives and unquantifiable amounts of American treasure.

The Japanese were top-notch shitheads in the middle of the last century, but they could have been as shitty as they'd liked if they didn't involve us in it.

On the upside, that means getting justice for the piracy doesn't necessarily require lengthy trials, we just need to carpet bomb any structure in Somalia that's under 30 years old.

It's amazing that they could increase my disdain for judges anymore than I had at the start of this century.

Judge-fiat is completely incompatible with a republican process.

They actually had a use in a constitutional republic, to restrain the whims of the popular. But the more they want to review everything, the more they impose their power as an arbiter of the popular opinion.

Fuck people who want to dunk on Tucker. If lightning were to strike and rid the world of Tucker Carlson, we'd still have the growing problem of runaway judicial review. Far more important than whether Tucker likes Jews.

139 Carlson was always the lightweight TV talking head he obviously was from the start. He's an idiot. Like many idiots, he stumbles across correct positions merely by chance, occasionally. His entire "prominence" the last 2 years was due to interviewing people who of course were completely blanked out by the ridiculous, cretinous, Soviet-style "press" that continues to warp and misinform the weak minds of most Americans.

When the Dems and the institutions were revealing their utterly alien, anti-American, totalitarian mindset, Carlson interviewed a few normal people, and spoke out against the obviously repugnant stuff going on.

A point in the interview with Lavrov remains the comic high-point.

On day one, the Trump II administration knew (or fucking had to know) that the judiciary was in full blown insurrection mode.

Why they decided that the best course of action was to bend over to it, then try, with limited success, to get it on the straight and narrow? It makes zero sense.

They had to have known.

It's a huge problem that was evident in Trump's first term. Did they not learn a thing?

They had 4 years to figure out a plan... and apparently didn't.

If Iran had nuclear weapons, they'd have cover to be even more outrageously criminal than thdy are now. That's why they want them.

And their neighbors will immediately want nuclear weapons, too. Saudi Arabia funded Pakistan's nuclear program with the understanding they could get nuclear weapons on request.

So, it would be quite bad even if Iran didn't use nuclear weapons on other countries. There is of course, no good reason to assume they wouldn't. Look what they've done to their own people, they don't give a damn.

UFOs are real shit. I don't know what they are. But there is something that manifests and is categorized under the impression of UFOs.

Also, Tucker never said they were aliens. He thinks (unsurprisingly) that they are demonic.

He's not far off as one researcher of alien abductions was not allowed to publish his findings that 100% of all alien abductions have ended when the visitee invoked the name of Jesus Christ.

He confronted several journals demanding that he was just reporting the cases. And a few told them they knew but they could never publish that and not lose standing as scientific journals.

You can register a complaint with the boss Ewok. He brought him up. The comment section is not going to fix the judiciary. To do that, legally, that requires Scotus to stomp on these judges and piss on them from on high. It requires the Senate to confirm appellate judges and for it to end its stupid blue slip veto for the Judiciary Cmte. That would end the process of blue state senators only getting the judges they want rather than the normal presidential process of nomination and vote on nominees. Even more important and unprecedented for blue slips to be used wholesale to block district attorney appointments in blue states. Senate should bypass the Judiciary in this case and bring the votes to the floor for these DAs in blue areas. Same with district court nominees.

265 I am... skeptical on numbers in history.-Not on specifics.

-so I believe the horrors and injustice, because I know people can be evil.

-I always question numbers because it is a hard thing to judge.

Example (which i am not saying is untrue): there was a naval battle during the first punic war (Acta, iianm.) If the Roman reports are to be believed something like 300k men were engaged on both sides.

The Romans were masters of logistics, but i keep wondering, how did they feed that many guys in the same area. No refrigeration. No canning.

Not exactly the same thing, but ancient sources always go overboard on how many people were involved and how many people were killed. This is not to dent what happened, but it is always best to be skeptical.

These fleets had to put into land often to refill water. Rations are a lot easier, biscuit, vegs, dried meat as cargo. You can know pretty accurately given the sizes of the warcraft are fairly well known and needed tons of rowers and marines.

Land battles are more iffy but the number estimates are routinely way high. There have been lots of studies trying to figure out the real sizes.

Xi is killing the Chicom economy and one of the last big Chicom real estate firms is going into bankruptcy. It was the best managed one fwiw.

But we get the mineral rights to Greenland and our "payment" is the status quo.

So, now we're actually getting more for being stuck in NATO.

When I saw that Trump wasn't giving up on Greenland, I imagined that some advisor probably told him that it was a pipedream of perhaps several presidents but always dismissed as undoable. Then I leaned that its actually the case that past presidents had proposed a purchase of Greenland.

"I'm the president to actually do it" is probably the thing that motivated Trump. This fits in well with other aspects of Trump's observable behavior--including his self-promotion.

294 I asked Brave AI:

Roman sailors sustained themselves during long sea battles and voyages through a combination of preserved staples, onboard cooking, and supplementary foraging. The core of their diet consisted of barley bread (a durable, long-lasting hardtack), grains, legumes, olives, and nuts, which were stored for extended periods without spoiling. Archaeological evidence from shipwrecks, such as the Yassi Ada, reveals large ceramic cauldrons, braziers, and fireproof tiles, indicating that sailors prepared hot meals like soups and porridges at sea using controlled heat sources to minimize fire risk on wooden ships.

To supplement their diet, sailors fished using hooks and lead nets, especially during calm weather, and relied on dried or salted fish when fishing was impossible due to storms.
Olive oil and vinegar (posca) were standard rations, with posca also serving as a safe, non-contaminated drink that helped prevent scurvy. The Romans also developed innovative cooking systems, such as a brazier with a water tank to regulate temperature and prevent lead from melting, showcasing their engineering adaptability.

CBS: The Murder Rate Fell 20% In One Year, the Largest One Year Drop In American History

Or, the largest drop since they've been keeping numbers. So the largest drop in history, according to the data we have.

Must be something the Democrats did, right?

Murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year, the largest drop on record, study shows

Murders plummeted more than 20% in 2025 from the year before, the single-largest one-year drop on record -- and it might be the lowest murder rate in the U.S. since 1900, a study released Thursday by the Council on Criminal Justice found.

The annual crime trends report analyzed data from 40 large cities across the United States for 13 different crime types, including murder, carjacking, theft and drug offenses.

Note that the numbers were cooked under Biden, with carjacking, theft, and various other crime numbers fraudulently reduced, so the real fall from 2023 and 2024 is actually must greater.


Alongside homicides, which dropped 21% from 2024, carjackings have declined 61% since 2023, while shoplifting is down 10% since 2024.

Probably just due to stores in cities closing to stop the rampant, government-permitted looting.

In general, the overall crime rate declined, with violent crimes at or below levels seen in 2019, the analysis found -- drug offenses were the only category that rose during this period, while sexual assault remained even.

Researchers pointed toward multiple reasons for the large drop in homicides, but cautioned that "identifying decisive factors with certainty is challenging."

LOL, of course, no "researcher" can possibly figure out why the murder rate should drop at the same time we're locking people up and deporting foreign marauders.

Must be an environmental factor. Like maybe people are eating less eggs or something.

Senior research specialist Ernesto Lopez, lead author of the report, said that while the "overall reduction in crime, especially homicide, is welcome news," he noted homicide rates had been steadily dropping since the late 2000s, prior to a notable spike in 2020.

"It is possible that these rates reflect a longer-term downward trend punctuated by periods of elevated homicides," Lopez said.

Insane. I mentioned this on Friday, I think, but "years of steadily dropping" (after the Biden Crime Wave peak) doesn't explain a sudden single-year 20% plummet.

"Steadily declining" means "falling 3-4% per year." This minor trend does not explain the huge fall.

A group of criminal justice experts convened by CCJ had varied answers as to what caused such a precipitous drop in homicides, but they were generally in agreement that the stabilization of routines, an influx of COVID-19 relief funds and program intervention were strong drivers.

Oh of course -- it wasn't enforcement, imprisonment, and deportation which lowered murders by one-fifth, it was, of course, liberal government spending.

This must be due to Liberal Government Spending as well:

Trump's Second Term Sees Record ICE Gang Arrests and Crime Drop

20 hours ago

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeted violent offenders from groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, with the FBI disrupting 1,800 gangs--a 210% jump from 2024--and making 67,000 total arrests. These efforts aligned with a 20% national drop in murders, the sharpest ever, as preliminary data showed homicides potentially at 1960s lows in major cities. While DHS credited removing dangerous criminals, including nearly 3 million illegal immigrants who left the U.S., analysts noted two-thirds of ICE arrests involved people without U.S. criminal records, and critics pointed to broader post-pandemic trends.

============

In truth, I was also wondering because of underreporting by victims who just don't bother anymore and because of the absurd redefinitions of felonies, theft, etc. That could erase a few percentage points, but the homicide and carjacking stats are amazing.

Speaking of which, what are the carjackers doing for a "living" now? People who jack cars are probably already on food stamps and Section 8 housing, but they were using that carjacking money for something. Drugs, I guess, so where are they getting their drug money now?

Posted by: 29Victor at January 22, 2026 04:42 PM (0MjtC)

27 "homicide rates had been steadily dropping since the late 2000s..."

-because we learned that broken-windows policing works and putting criminals in jail works

"...prior to a notable spike in 2020."

-Because we let stupid people in charge who started letting the criminals out of jail.

And NOW, we have someone putting the criminals in jail (often in another country, because they never belonged here) and we have homicide and other crime rates dropping.

GEEEE, I wonder if anyone could ever figure out what factors cause this?

Nobody goes outside anymore. everyone's just rotting indoors on their phones instead of getting into beef with the neighbors

we're seeing a slow retreat from the anomalous spike from 2020-21, which was caused by COVID making people go insane and Post-Floyd de-policing initiatives.

Leaded gasoline might have been banned quite some time ago but it takes some for the stuff to cycle through the environment and to finally sequester somewhere.

Shows like CSI:Miami convinced people that murders are easy to solve. Even an effortkiller like Luigi was caught really fast.

It’s because in some states half of agencies stopped reporting because they instituted new standards

With people living longer than ever, and smaller generations replacing the ones coming before, this murder rate decrease trend will probably continue.

Here in Chicago, we invested in prevention programs (until Trump cut the funding. When you have preventative controls, you don’t need nearly as many police.

As dumb as it is (and it definitely doesn't account for a 20% drop), I'd imagine murder is very much a younger (black) man's game, so as the population in general skews older, the murder rate overall probably would slowly drop.

Yep. A lot of murders are criminals killing other criminals, particularly where gangs are strong, but it does spill over to the rest of us in urban and suburban areas.

To a killer, after the first one, the rest are free. And almost always there is a long trail of crimes leading up to killing someone from petty to violence on the way. Unlike infotainment tells you, murderers do not just 'snap' but are good people at heart. They almost always displayed signs of criminal and violent behavior before killing people.

I've shared the long version of this here before, but the public will never understand how many "overdose" deaths weren't the traditional "drank too much" or "snorted too much" overdose, but instead were product (weed, coke, meth, heroin) that was tainted with fentanyl.

I was watching television earlier this week and realized that a friend of mine who died about 5 years ago probably died from fentanyl tainted weed or coke--he was a happy guy and not one to take fentanyl directly. I know of at least one other friend of mine that passed under similar circumstances. When someone like that dies, they never announce what the drug was, but neither of these guys would have sought out fentanyl, nor done enough of another chemical to classically "overdose".

121 On a related note:

Provisional CDC data shows an estimated 72,836 overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending August 2025, representing a 20.6% decrease from the prior year. This follows a steeper 27% drop in 2024, marking more than two years of declining overdose deaths—the longest sustained decline in decades.

The second half makes some sense, with Trump's border and drug crackdown. I don't know why 2024 would be significantly lower than 2023? Biden/Dems didn’t seem to be cracking down in preparation for the election or anything.

The biden administration started enforcing the border in June of 2024 because they knew it was going to be an issue with the Trump campaign. He/they wanted to appear tough on illegal immigration going into the campaign season. The unlimited flow of illegal drugs coming across the border started drying up then.

Denver has been top city for car thefts for years. The guy babbled on about their get tough programs finally paying off.

Uh huh. Sure. Everyone knows the car thefts are being done by organized , international crime rings, not random people deciding, “Hey, cool car! Lemme see if the door is unlocked…”
Trump’s aggressive deportations of TdA and other criminals did this.
Posted by: Lizzy

Ironically, of all property crimes, car thefts are reported about 80 percent of the time. Outlier. Same with aggravated assault, robbery and murder compared with other crimes. Rape and simple assault are 40 percent or lower reporting rates. From 2018 and similar stats in 2024.

147 2023 had a 13% drop. 2024 a 15-17% drop. And now a 20% drop. This is a good trend. Cities like Baltimore have been leading the charge with their programs like the Group Violence Reduction Strategy.

Those damn socialist programs making our cities safer and more liveable!! Providing resources for the welfare of others without a profit incentive!!!

Plus, it increased about 30% during the height of COVID. This is a continuing trend and a correction. Its always clear who gets their opinions from social media vs real information.

This is a misleading study. It examines yearly and monthly rates of 13 violent, property, and drug offenses reported to police in 40 large American cities that have consistently reported monthly data over the past eight years. The 40 cities are not necessarily representative of all jurisdictions in the United States.

Not a large sample size, data is subject to change based on revisions by local officials. Not the worst study ive seen but not good either.

Ironically there is also a relationship between whether the police are doing their job and reporting crimes and not.

NCVS documents that crime reporting drops when people feel the cops can't or won't do anything. Rises in a virtuous cycle when they feel otherwise.

The massive surges of illegals has also made some of the last twenty years or so wonky on reporting data, particularly of sex crimes. You really have to dive down to get it but illegal immigrants are less likely to report crime across the board but particularly sex assaults-rape, pedo shit, etc.

100% he'll be charged...eventually. They arrested the ring leaders, now comes discovery, where they dump their phones and e-mails. Given what we already know, Lemon was likely all over these e-mails. He certainly talked like someone who knew exactly what the plan was and was an active participant in it. Up to including giving the ringleader a kiss and getting thanks by her for his "contributions".

SO - the deal is, the liberty bell used to be basically visible and set up in the Mall (Independence Mall) with like a perimeter but you didn't have to pay to see it, you could just see it. (there was a guard tho so you couldn't mess with it). the "walls" around it were clear and it was open to anyone during the day, then locked at night. but always visible.

then they decided that wasn't safe enough, so. the city built a whole big building, you could no longer see the Bell, you had to pay to enter.

the ENTIRE THING was about slavery. about how Washington had slaves?!?! it was the most stupid woke nonsense you had to wend your way thru on your way to just see the damn Bell.

SO! PDJT found out, and they're taking all that shit AWAY! it's amazing! ugly as sin "art" sure - all just a bad joke. fantastic! now they should replace the walls around the Bell with something clear and stop making people pay to see it.

"Murders in U.S. counties are highly concentrated, with a small number of urban counties accounting for the vast majority of homicides nationwide.

Top 5% of counties in population size accounted for 73% of all U.S. homicides in 2020, according to data from the Crime Prevention Research Center and Reddit analyses.

Half of all U.S. counties recorded zero homicides in 2020, highlighting the extreme imbalance in crime distribution."

You will see a correlation between a red county and few if any murders and a blue county where it is endemic. Some of the murders in red counties are actually perps that drift in and out of urban centers or along interstates when they travel from place to place.

-----------------
And wait, there's more:
Hylden’s reach extends further. The firm also lobbied for the Somali Museum of Minnesota, founded by Osman Ali in 2011. Ali pleaded guilty to fraud in a separate case, yet the museum received $4.5 million in state funding just months later. This isn’t isolated; Minnesota’s Somali community has been at the epicenter of multiple fraud schemes, including a $104 million housing scam, $399 million in autism fraud, and billions in remittances to Somalia. Hylden’s involvement in these orbits raises red flags about how lobbying dollars influence public funds.

174 whig I think it's the case that 5 or 6 zip codes account for an enormous % of all US violent crime & homicides.

It's like 1980s DC, on a national scale.

500+ homicides. 1, or 2, even close to, or west of, Rock Creek Park.

184 Given non-reporting, misreporting, and plea-bargaining, how sure are we that we really have an accurate picture of murder (or other crime) statistics? Doesn't mean that there's a downward trend in the (presumably cooked) statistics, but I do wonder how well we know what we know.

Example 2,398,478 of how to lie with statistics. Note the specifier: U.S. criminal records. Arrestees may have had criminal records from their country of origin, and thus a priority for deportation. Also, ICE doesn't just arrect illegal aliens; they're also responsible for customs enforcement (it's literally in the name), and so a lot of arrests could be due to violations of customs violations (including, I'd assume, illicit drug trade).

195 Top 5% of counties in population size accounted for 73% of all U.S. homicides in 2020, according to data from the Crime Prevention Research Center and Reddit analyses.
__________

That one didn't shock me because I figured that the top 5% of counties in population probably had close to 73% of the total population.

But the interwebs say it's substantially less. Half the population lives in the top 4.6% of counties by population. So probably somewhere in the 51 - 55% range for the entire top 5%.

196 I'd like to believe it, and deporting a bunch of super-villains *should* result in a measurable decline given what we know about proportion of total crime committed by the worst criminals.

But we are also in an era where everyone lies about everything, and this is a scenario where the left and the right will both want to lie to achieve their own ends. The left fakes reporting of crime to make the problem look less severe and the right has a desire to show that policy has achieved meaningful results. There is no evidence that the right is cooking the books, but it *could* be.

I have no idea how much to handicap it. I will assume the reported figure is off by 100%, and that the real decline is a still quite-good 10%.

Also, they lie by defining "criminal record" as "conviction only."

So a guy out on bail for his murder rap is counted as "no criminal record."

But the immigration law is clear--even an arrest is sufficient to justify deporting you.

I'm in south rather than north TX. If there's an ice storm (which I've seen predicted), we could lose power due to downed lines, and if that takes a week to restore (like it did with a wind storm in recent memory), the stores themselves might not be open for some of that period. I don't plan on laying in supplies for a huge amount of time, but I'll have more on hand than usual. Unfortunately, we have not had great luck with keeping the power on or restoring it when the weather is nastier than usual here. And by "luck," I mean our government hates us and is incompetent.

And remember, "conspiracy" only requires agreement that a felony should be committed by someone who's part of the conspiracy.

They used that a lot to lock up not J6ers but merely people in text chains with J6ers.

So let justice be done here equally.

That might be how they wind up getting Don Lemon -- maybe a leftwing judge can claim he was a "journalist" when in the church, but if he's taking part in the planning, then he's a co-conspirator.


This guy makes sense:

PERP WALK PARADE...KEEP IT FUCKING ROLLING

Another one bites the dust: Chauntyll Louisa Allen, St. Paul school board parasite and professional chaos merchant, just got federally indicted for CONSPIRACY TO DEPRIVE RIGHTS.

Her crime? Helping orchestrate the sacrilegious invasion of Cities Church...storming a house of God mid-service, terrorizing worshippers, screaming in their faces, all because the pastor dares to serve his country with ICE.

And the high priestess of this blasphemous mob, Nekima Levy Armstrong...self-anointed civil rights queen, race-hustling attorney, the venomous ringleader who planned and executed the whole disgusting spectacle...hauled out in cuffs this morning.

Federal custody. No soft landing. No media bailout.

Just cold steel and the long-overdue taste of consequences.

These people aren't activists.

They're domestic terrorists in activist drag.

They psychologically crave the thrill of domination...invading sacred spaces, silencing prayer, bullying the faithful because it feeds their bloated egos and fragile power fantasies.

They thought churches were fair game, that worshippers had no rights worth protecting.

They needed to believe their cause sanctified any violation. That delusion just got shattered by federal indictments.

You feel it?

That's justice finally sharpening its blade after years of deliberate dulling. No more free passes for the approved class of agitators.

No more looking away while they desecrate what others hold holy.

Keep. The. Motherfucking. Arrests. Coming.

Every last one of them. Round up the whole mob.

Apply the law with lethal evenness...no selective mercy, no political favoritism.

The same statutes that protected their protests now protect the churchgoers they terrorized.

Beautiful symmetry.

And don't stop there.

Next up: Don fucking Lemon and every smug, riot-apologist ghoul who spent years cheering this kind of intimidation from the safety of their studios.

Drag them in too. Make them explain why disrupting worship is "speaking truth to power" when they do it, but "insurrection" when anyone else dares.

The great correction is underway.

The era of unequal justice is bleeding out.

And it feels ***damn glorious.

And it's not just wallflower women attracted to radical leftwing politics, of course. You also have heartbreaker Alpha Chads like this potential David French bedroom visitor:

“There’s an App for that!” Indeed. There is a website exclusively devoted to people who obsess about oil changes for their car. Frequency, brands, type, additive packages. What viscosity? 10w-30? 20w-50? Rotella?

My point is we shouldn’t be surprised by this, it is or was inevitable I suppose. I remember when “Flash Mobs” became a thing.

“That’s so cute!” everyone exclaimed. They are singing happy birthday at the Mall to someone. But my cynical side knew this type of coordination and directed action could, and would be used for exactly what we’ve been seeing for several years now.

28 "And remember, "conspiracy" only requires agreement that a felony should be committed by someone who's part of the conspiracy."

Yes. And as I pointed out earlier, the KKK Act does not require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Just an agreement. So anyone in on the agreement to raid the church -- even those who didn't go into the church -- can be prosecuted under the Act.

My guess is the text and paper trail for the rancid lepers who physically stormed the church is very long and almost certainly includes some "big names" in the Democrap party. This raid wasn't organic. It was planned and orchestrated. There are gonna be a lot of people on these text strings.

47 "And remember, "conspiracy" only requires agreement that a felony should be committed by someone who's part of the conspiracy."

The KKK Act is broader than that. As I pointed out earlier, while a charge under the Act is itself a felony, the underlying agreement that forms the conspiracy does not have to involve any acts that would constitute a felony.

The Act also does not require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Just an agreement. So anyone in on the agreement to raid the church -- even those who didn't go into the church -- can be prosecuted under the Act.

You need to read 18 USC 241. This is a major felony with punishment Starting at 10 years in Federal prison and ranging up to a Death Penalty. Because it is a Conspiracy statute, the financiers of this action are also on the hook. This means the Soros Family is on the hook if they financed or agreed to this action.


Because the crimes were part of a national (wire based) network of conspirators the case can be tried anywhere wires reach in the US, it does not have to be in front of a jury of Commie sympathizers in Minnesota, for example it can be tried in Corsicana TX.

102 I watched some of that William Kelly footage from the Church. He spent the entire time calling people names, and I just can't figure out why. The story is that they were upset that the pastor was ICE, but why does that mean he can call people unspeakable things just for being in the Church? Methinks he and his fellow travelers have some serious anger issues, probably because they are such losers in life, and instead of dealing with their own failings, they hurl them at strangers.

Sorta like the crazy street people. Sort of like that.

Never underestimate the potential for anyone to do evil if only to rage against just being born.

125 I do remember the data is clear that right leaning people tend to be more attractive then lefties. What isn't clear is if it is because right leaning people are more likely to follow traditional standards of beauty or if people that are genetically better looking embrace right leaning politics.

I guess looking in this thread we have evidence for either with the land whales (ignoring beauty standards) and the freak from a horror movie who was apparently born that way...

I don't think lonely people are the problem. The problem is perverts and weirdos.

Before social media and chat forums, an isolated pervert was just a pervert, and I think most of them knew they were perverts or at least outcasts. The rise of SM enabled them to link up to great numbers of other perverts, and that makes them feel powerful and less marginalized.

Antifag is literally just a big bukkake link-up of weirdos, perverts, criminals, and foul stenches from the ghosts of basements past.

I've known about Cyrax for years, a magnet for mockery and disgust.

But it's so up-side-down that now drah-mah is how some people -- young women is what I mean -- "communicate" in real life. It's how they attempt to appeal to men. "zomg I just got out of the car and Zooey and Chad are druuuunnnkkk." It's how one young female acquaintance of mine lost 2 guys in a row in quick order when she found them on online dating sites. They liked her, dated her once, then spooked at her texting drama and cut her off.

A lot of it started with Epstein stumble for Bondi and Patel. Some was an unrealistic idea of how fast the DoJ and FBI which was and is fairly hostile to enforcing the law against fellow leftists could be fixed. Epstein crap has been turned into an op by the left but it became an example of how the law is not and has not been applied equally.

The Don wants Bondi there for one reason, she won't go behind his back to appoint special federal prosecutors and other shit so as to meet the Jeffy Sessions std of cowardice in office. So the Deputy AGs can get on with trying to fix the DoJ, arrest traitors, and overcome the blue slip procedures that Dems use to prevent permanent District attorneys and other officials from being appointed in blue states. Patel, much of the same ire.

I don't think either of them knew how bad the rot was in their institutions-sort of like how the Don trusted our nat sec community in his first term.

Unfortunately, Congress holds the cards for an easy solution, and they aren't showing any desire to play them. That leaves us with several extra-constitutional Plan B scenarios.

It would be an interesting poll that asks people two questions: 1) Do you consider yourself a religious and moral person? 2) Do you think Americans are generally religious and moral?

Maybe add a 3rd question referencing John Adams quote regarding whom he thought the Constitution was made for. 3) Do you think there is a growing percentage of the population to whom the Constitution has become irrelevant?

I got an email from my electric company saying that I should set my thermostat to 68 during the day and lower at night. In fucking central Texas.

Fortunately, I use gas heat so I can ignore that.

Cyrax going nationwide. The mind boggles. I can only hope ICE does break down his door and make an arrest, sending that freak of nature back to whatever circle of hell his kind spawn.

wait ... that's where our main HVAC is set normally? we also use the fireplaces and wood stove tho.

but 68 is pretty good. I think they say you can't set the HVAC more than 40-50 degrees above conditions? the other day it was like 7 degrees here.

* State that the Davos Speech shows that Trump is a raving loon and an embarrassment to the USA. Talk about Trump's dementia the way Republicans attacked Joe Biden.

* State that ICE is arresting children and the DOJ believes that ICE DOESN’T NEED A WARRANT TO BURST INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES! Hello: the 4th Amendment in the Bill of Rights?

* Explain the according the GOP, the Clinton's must testify to Congress or be held in contempt, yet numerous Republicans, including some on the very committee, blew off their own subpoenas with zero consequences

258 Frey's obviously posturing here as a means to higher office, maybe Minn governor or even a POTUS run sometime next decade?

I think it might be something a bit more timely. Not only are Frey, Walz and other elected officials in Minnesota under investigation for their part in the fraud they have also been subpoenaed for potentially obstructing ICE.

I think we can dispense with the nothing will happen bullshit. It already is happening and its likely to get a lot more busy.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 22, 2026 03:54 PM


I think frey is going to run for governor now that walz is permanently out of the picture. He can claim that he had zero control or oversight over state money for the fraud and he would be right. Not saying that he wasn't hip deep in the fraud but he is not on the hook for state or federal money going out the door to the fraudsters.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at January 22, 2026 04:16 PM (0N4FZ)

259 The reason people like that man get sucked in to radicalism is because of snotty comments like this. He's probably been bullied his entire life, fir something he has no control over. The radicals exploit his desire to have friends and fit in somewhere; he doesn't realize he's a pawn, he just knows he has friends to hang out with now, and will do anything to help them, and prove he's worthy of attention.

I hate it when people are made fun of because of their looks. It's devastating.

266 >>I don't think either of them knew how bad the rot was in their institutions-sort of like how the Don trusted our nat sec community in his first term.

We didn't know how deep the rot was either. Nobody who wasn't deeply involved with it did and anyone who pretends they did is lying.

They took over probably they most corrupt institutions in DC. The first thing they had to do was start getting rid of the people who were part of the swamp and bring new people in and get things moving with what we all can see is a deeply corrupted judiciary.

They're both doing a good job. FBI arrests are up over 200% in the first year including almost half of the 10 most wanted. Biden got less in 4 years. I think Trump likes them because they are doing a good job.

271 I was just perusing the US Immigration and Customs Department website (specifically, their "newsroom").

I am, absolutely, astounded by the overrepresentation of pedophiles in the arrests they've made. Is this practice of raping kids accepted in their originating countries? Overlooked?

I used to think pedophilia, while presently more visible, was a rare thing. It would appear to be the norm for a LARGE number of illegal immigrants (and legal immigrants, for that matter).

Sinners fumbled the bag. Had some interesting premises and some really good scenes - and I liked the fidelity to certain aspects of vampire lore - but it lacked cohesiveness and needlessly crammed in the black vengeance against white people fantasy.

344 In reference to Frey running interference for Nekima Armstrong, you have to understand that there is a history there. She ran against him for Mayor back in 2017. When Frey won, she continued her established "community counselor" programs and was instrumental compromising the police Union leaders by showing up their houses and whacking likenesses of them with sticks out in front of their house.

Armstrong had quit her law professorship for the election...but then dove into influencing key leaders, likely to the benefit of Frey. I wouldn't be surprised if Armstrong doesn't hold compromising information on a lot of Minneapolis leaders (not just the Somali fraud)...and Frey is inclined to suck up now that Armstrong is facing Federal charges.

Cattle originated from the southern Eurasian steppes, and cope well with cold weather, but they can't forage under snow for fodder like horses can, so they tended to either live in warmer regions or find marshes and river bottoms to winter in.

390 DHS/ICE used more than a dozen agents to abduct activist DaWokeFarmer aka William Kelly, at gunpoint, even though he surrendered himself peacefully. This is solely due to him peacefully protesting a ICE Field Commander/Pastor in St. Paul, MN.

The brownshirts are normalizing this. HSI shouldn't be doing this. If this is a federal crime, we need the FBI. It's that simple. No HSI

"DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THESE GOONS! REMEMBER THE CONSTITUTION!" No fear, just continued determination in the face of this occupation. Heed well this man's words.

It takes courage to engage in acts of civil disobedience that could get you arrested, and I applaud him for that. He's also a veteran if I'm not mistaken. More of us should aspire to be like him, myself included.

No Minnesota jury will convict this man, so I'm sure they'll do what they can to venue shop him down to rural lousisinana.

In the end, they probably won't charge him. They'll arrest him and hold him for a couple of days and then drop the charges. It's intimidation.

Going to be hard for her to climb out of the hole that she dug with the bungling of the Epstein files rollout. Remember the photo-op of a bunch of insiders holding thick binders that ended up being nothing.
She fell on her face right out of the 2026 gate with that.

She needs to more like today to start her rehabilitation.
I'll suggest that she should add leg irons to these church arrestees would further help.

I used to think pedophilia, while presently more visible, was a rare thing. It would appear to be the norm for a LARGE number of illegal immigrants (and legal immigrants, for that matter).

Raping minors, specifically family members, is most certainly a thing in a lot of south and central american nations. Anyone with a lot of exposure to illegals in the US could tell you this.

Stacked Rapper Nicki Minaj Says She Wants the "C***sucker" "Thug" Don Lemon in Jail, That He Would Never Invade a Mosque

I love how Don Lemon keeps attacking the people at this church and saying that he practices "a different kind of Christianity."

Oh? What kind of Christianity is that, rump raider?

By the way, he accuses Minaj of having recorded the disgraceful porn song "W.A.P." Um, no, that was Cardi B. Megan Thee Stallion.

Lemon claims Minaj, who is black, isn't "African American" because she "comes from the islands." I guess Jamaicans and Haitians aren't black?

But Don Lemon, who has a lot of white in him, and I don't just mean when his "husband" doses him with amyl nitrite, says that she isn't black?

While confusing her for two completely different black women?

As you all know, the very gay low-IQ retard Don Lemon, whose busted-up broke-out asshole resembles the Bikini Atoll during the 1960s H-bomb tests, has a major, major problem with women.

Oh, and Lemon is on a defamation tour against Minaj's family, claiming, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that members of her family are sex criminals.

That's a brazen accusation for Don Lemon, credibly accused gay sex assaulter, to make against anyone.

There was a period where The Big Thing in thuggish rap was vivid vocal depictions of fucking and eating ass. Entire "songs" were written about it.

I went to a gangsta rap "concert" where half the lyrics were about assholes and what should be done with them. (Yes, I know, my mistake. But I took a girl who wanted to go, and she was hot ....)

It was at that point I started thinking that these wannabe thugs are secretly gay as fuck. This was before Puff Daddy's trial and allegations of gay fagassery.

112 Is that what Lemon actually said - because he's not really up on RC theology, not surprisingly . Jesus wasn't an "immaculate conception." That term refers to Mary being conceived without original sin. Mary gave birth to Jesus - the Virgin Birth and where on earth did Lemon get the idea that Joseph was gay? He obviously has his own version of pseudo Christianity because that doesn sound like an AA church tradition that he might have been raised in , unless it's his perversion of RC . Black church traditions don't ascribe to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception but they do believe Jesus was sinless and in the virgin birth.

Which makes sense because if you pick someone for their musical talent there is no reason to assume that they will be especially good looking.

But when you look at pop singers they are mostly beautiful (well on the outside at least) because they aren't getting picked for their musical talent...and yes I include you Swift...

There's a certain type of personality in some gays that delights in tricking and insulting people, and making fools of them. Lemon aspires to be this type, but his lunkheaded stupidity prevents him from being successful at it.

126 Don't know about the present but years ago, in the Federal agencies anchored in DC, there was always some great drama going on between African American persons vs. "Islanders." (Note Kamala Harris' dad was born in Brown's Town, St. Ann Parish, Jamaica. Therefore, Afro-Jamaican.)

The "Islanders" seemed to hold themselves, their employment status, educational backgrounds, and their countries of origin in high esteem. (Some of the internal friction was allegations that the people of the US for many generations were spoiled, lazy & less kept in appearance, while the more recent Islanders were rewarded with better jobs, etc..)

I thought the concept of BLM might have been created to unite such groups into one more powerful political body within the US. And I've also wondered if that has hurt (to some degree) Black U.S citizens who can still trace their family roots to slavery within this country. (🤷‍♀️ I stay out of it. I'm just an outsider with an interesting, but now typical, extended family.)

177 Nikki Minaj was a judge on American Idol years ago (same time as Mariah Carey, and that was lit!) She was the only one who gave constructive criticism, didn't fawn over the folks, and was gentle but truthful when someone did not have talent for singing. I gained some respect for her for that and for when someone asked if her mother listened to her songs and she replied, "My mama don't listen to no nasty rap!"
She has been very vocal about the attacks on Christians in Sudan and Nigeria, and begging for the UN and other nations to step in and help these people. I wonder if that is a big reason she is being shunned, in addition to her views on the clot shot.

People take on the social values of the ones around them.

It's funny how "gay" became an identity, when it was historically understood to be a behavior. You could do it or not do it. The very concept of being 100 percent one way or the other is very modern, no doubt part of the framing to equate sexual perversity with an immutable characteristic like race.

And yet a lot of Christian """leaders""" and denominations have adopted this view, that expecting people to follow ancient codes of behavior is now impractical because reasons.

A Michigan State football player was accused just before he went out for the NFL draft and it ruined his career. He was vindicated, but then the accuser said it was rigged, so he was retried, and convicted, and this time he sued and won a hefty settlement. During the lawsuit it was revealed that the accuser wanted unprotected sex with him so she could be his baby mama. So the opposite was actually the case - he was accused because he would NOT sleep with her.

She also sued and got a settlement as well, because otherwise it wouldn't be "fair."

With gay marriage, we backed down on the principle of rule by consensus and capitulated to "being nice".

And then within months, it was about "being nice" as a florist or a baker. And even though the prior advocates of "being nice" who were sort of in the conservative ear, said they disagreed with the forced niceness, even though they assured us, it was only about people getting married, not the compulsion of others.

After that it was a period of popular forced compulsion, ending in "cancel culture" because you did not meet the facade society's version of "nice" enough.

We're coming back off that bender, but it's going to be a hard struggle back.

Athletes are studs. The regret is greater, because the experience was greater.

We allowed courts to decide what opinion society should have and what new values it should have. And suddenly the baseline disapproval of homosexual relationships became invisible under the forced facade of mandatory public acceptance.

And I'm not even as much against gays and gay marriage as a number of people here.

But I said when Obergefell dropped, this is a forced facade of approval.

And even that we swallowed to "be nice".

Now, we just have progs demanding that we "be nice" to every facet of their worldview. In fact, their worldview defines all that is "nice".

There are degrees of possession. Demons can try to fuel addictions, and undermine attempts to give them up.

A classic strategy is to deny the existence of sin, or that something is sinful when it manifestly is. Lots of that going on right now.

No, it is more that if you have no self control, no belief in agency, no belief in volition, then what you do is always someone else's or something else's fault. That leads to depravity, demonic or otherwise because it is opening the door to being dominated by very bad things.

The Bible as the Word, is a shield of sort because it literally explains the way via multiple examples (bad and good) how to prevent sin from dominating your life and that is by accepting we should control our wants with the assistance of the Lord.

Good study of hundreds of thousands of Christians indicates that reading the Bible four or more times per week leads to less anxiety, less depression, less consumption of substances, less desire for the unnatural and seeking out pron, etc. and promotes virtuous behavior.

Supposedly her brother or husband are in jail for child abuse stuff. It's been suggested by leftists that the only reason she spoke at Turning Point and sounds conservative now is that she wants Trump to pardon them and get them out of jail. Like how Trump helped the Kardashians get a relative out of jail by being nice to Trump.

This Definitely Happened You Racists

Somali Jussie Smollett says ICE called her the n-word and screamed This is MAGA country! and then gave her a "scab."

This 68 IQ Cultural Enricher says that the ICE agents "racially indicted" her.

Weird how her head had no marks on it in an earlier video but was suddenly bandaged up for her press conference.

Note how her story evolves. First, the ICE agents just "asked for ID" but "added their two cents" (how dare they!) and "baited" her.

Then, she claims she was "kidnapped." And also suffered a wound on her head which apparently had a 24-hour incubation period before it actually became visible.

So, with any claim made by a Somali thug, we need to ask: What really happened?

What really happened is that ICE agents were asking her questions, and she spat directly in the face of one of them. You can see his head snap back from the spittle.

And then she was arrested, and then suddenly she developed a Phantom Wound on her head.

They gave me some of that shit drugs for fibromyalgia and I want that year back. I stopped taking them because the effects are awful. I just did not care about much of anything.

I dropped the sob doctor that got pissed off that I quit the meds. Acted like it was a personal insult that I questioned his diagnosis.

The ONE complete victory the BLM idiots got was to force all police to wear bodycams.

And that victory now illustrates just how much abuse the police put up with from criminals daily... and just how much restraint they generally show.

Also how it IMMEDIATELY puts the lie to every claim of "I DIDNDONUTHIN!"

I agree that bodycams have been a real godsend to LE, but one downside is the way suspects and arrestees behave with cops now that they know that the cops aren't going to beat them up merely for being a-holes. So they act out more and verbally abuse more on cam.

118 Here is the latest from NDH:

Good afternoon.

The doctor came through just now.

I was contingently approved for a heart transplant pending these last few tests, which I have now passed, so they are presenting me to the committee this afternoon for final approval to be listed.

There are different paths they can take, but they're going to start out by presenting the path that we've discussed here, which is to put in the impella and keep me in the hospital until a heart becomes available. The committee could also decide that there is a better course of action. Whatever they decide, I will know by tomorrow.

So now it's all very real, all over again, and as much as I hate to do this, I must. It hurts to have to ask, but if i'm going to ask, you deserve to know why.

My daughter has set up a GoGundMe for support through this process. I had already lost most of my real estate income due to not being able to work two jobs and, while I'm fortunate to have disability at my day job, it's at reduced pay after 60 days. Even if I received a transplant tomorrow, it would be months before I could return to work.

I think this Somolian freak, with her low IQ, has an imaginary boo-boo or picked a zit. I want proof! There should be bruising and signs of abraisions, as Ace mentioned. Not an isolated bandaid on your hideous inbred bubble head.

The left always tells you what they fear, while completely failing to understand everyone else.

The really do fear a crackdown, and know that most of their troops will burn their uniforms and try to blend in rather than fight. This is why they did the J6 mass arrests, because they knew it would work on them.

They did not understand that people with actual morals, values and faith will submit to injustice because they believe in a higher law, and life after death. They submit to the crosses they are given, and in so doing, steel the determination of the rest. The left has no such resilience.

As with the Tesla vandals, as the arrests start to accumulate, Karen will delete her profile and pretend she never did any of that, because she's physically afraid.

(Think she, above, said the Band-Aid was for a scab she had but it had reopened while she was being held by ICE. The allegation of concussion is interesting.)

And so, 18 U.S.C. § 241 will be the charge desired against ICE in this matter?

202 There is another video I saw yesterday -- it is a little kid, maybe 8, saying he is bullied at school for being Mexican. The kids say that President Trump is going to send him back to Mexico. He says he was born in America though. "I am citizen."

It looked really really fake, and kind of disgusting that parents would do this to their kids. I predict it will be a big hit on reddit.

"The worse the better" only works on a national scale.

In a federalized government with sovereign (don't laugh) states and free movement between them, "the worse the better" applied on the state level just leads to diminished political power over time nationally.

Sure, things will get worse in the blue states (like, you know, Minnesota), but Minnesota's influence will simply diminish over time as it grows slower (maybe even shrinks) compared to states that aren't doing the "the worse the better" routine.

Hard to protect people from themselves. The fact that Tennessee law enforcement hid the tranny motive for years told you who was calling the shots.

The center-right holds the strategic initiative and the correlation of forces is heavily in their favor. The left's recourse to violence and constant chirping for death is lowering the intensity of the response to the thing they always say is happening actually happening.

This is why Trump is moving with deliberate speed to the point of slowness. The church attack shifted the Overton window significantly, and the left knows it. But they can't back off, and Walz is having to get louder and louder in his sedition lest he be thrown under the bus for corruption.

I also think she was not prepared for her sudden fame. She was all over the airwaves suddenly for basically playing on the computer making files with her brother, and when that stock ran out she still had contracts to produce.
She had a long dry spell, and that's when she got fat and went on psych meds.

My crystal ball is cracked. In part because this era, due to omnipresent smart phones and social media is making society deranged yet at the same time providing a siloed echo chamber. In the case of the left, it is not a revolution I fear, it is more that they will try to seize power via a coup/secession as their political hopes drain away.

The most dangerous time for a Civil War is when one side perceives itself losing what status is has currently and that the future looks even bleaker. 1850 was probably the height of slave states' command of the American polity but as the Whigs died as a national party and were replaced by regional Republican party, plus the mood kept darkening in the North against slavery and its spread, the South lashed out while the fireeaters perceived it still could. They thought they could walk away from the Union and the fight would be minor.

Pam Grier went on the View and must have been tripping acid. Because she spouted a personal history that cannot possibly be true, and is being debunked even by lefties.

She claimed that her family was not allowed to live on the military base because they were black. And as a kid she had to walk past black people lynched in trees when she went to school. Never mind that the last recorded lynching in Ohio was 1919.

Saw a video the other day of some stupid 20 somethings trying to harass ICE agents during an active arrest and they are backing her down the street as she is screaming at them that she has a "right to be there" and she tells them that she has her six year old in her car down the street and they are absolutely flabbergasted at her stupidity and recklessness and tell her that if she doesn't leave immediately they will arrest her for child endangerment. A female ICE agent walks her back to her car and lo and behold, a little 6 year old boy is sitting by himself crying and scared. The agent takes down all of her info and license, etc. and tells her to leave and she is going to report her to CPS. I felt so bad for this kid and the kicker is that the illegal they were after was a pedophile.

Church Invasion Ringleader A R R E S T E D by DHS and FBI

I had just written this forty minutes ago:

The Church Invaders must have been advised by attorneys that they did violate the FACE Act and possibly the KKK Act as well, because they're now rewriting history to craft their legal defenses: They're now claiming they didn't disrupt the church services at all, they just sat down to participate in the services.

Except... we can see them on videotape disrupting the service and announcing beforehand they intend to "disrupt" the church services.

It doesn't matter. They are animals without morals or conscience. They do not even recognize any difference between truth and lie. "Truth" is whatever helps them gain power and control over their betters.

And now:

Hello! It's going to be one of those kind of days, unfortunately.

25 The Church Invaders must have been advised by attorneys that they did violate the FACE Act and possibly the KKK Act as well, because they're now rewriting history to craft their legal defenses: They're now claiming they didn't disrupt the church services at all, they just sat down to participate in the services.

63 I did a little research. 18 USC 241 (the "Conspiracy against rights" crime) is a powerful statute. Consider:

1. It's a conspiracy crime. 241 makes it a crime for two or more persons to agree to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege. Very broad.

2. Unlike many conspiracy statutes, 241 does not require the commission of an overt act. This is very important.

3. 241 is is a felony, even if the underlying conduct would not, on its own, be a felony.

4. Serious teeth: Punishable by up to ten years imprisonment under normal circumstanced. Longer terms and even death penalty if the conspiracy caused a death.

It does make more sense arresting the ring-leaders/enablers rather than making a point that a "journalist" was compromising the definition of his niche.

A reporter has to have some amount of cred to accomplish anything. Lemon probably ablated an additional amount of his being caught in several lies about his participation.

However much a fool and a hypocrite, Lemon is mainly a tagalong. If they want to arrest everybody involved, than he should be arrested too. But he shouldn't be prosecuted for being an ass anymore than the rest of the tagalongs.

Posted by: Orson
==
Law professors for the last twenty year or so have become deranged in many cases partly due to hiring practices but also due to generational turnover to Millennials. The older Lib Left had to at least make enough sense to justify their positions, mostly by sophistry but still. The Millennials changed that in the fields by focusing on racism, sexism, patriarchy, and other bullshit terms invented by earlier generations like the Boomers and before them the Silent and Greatest Generation POS like Sartre, Foucalt, etc.

But the Millennials did not understand that all of these isms invented by generations of leftists before them are in fact just a way to seek power by sophistry, not reality. So you get a dumbed down version of what used to pass for academic discourse. Because I was an economics major and had been exposed to the real Marx and somewhat of Lenin/Baran, etc. back in the 70's, it inoculated me when I went to grad school later on.

“The attorney general is enraged at the magistrate’s decision,” said a source familiar with the matter. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been in Minnesota for two days, as the Justice Department has sought to surge prosecutorial and law enforcement resources there.

226 This appears to be the third arrest for Armstrong. At least, that's all I could find.

In 2014, she and ten other protesters were charged by the City of Bloomington with disorderly conduct and trespass which carried a maximum penalty of a fine up to $8,000 and a prison sentence of up to two years. Restitution charges for $40,000 against the protesters were later withdrawn by the city.[8] In November 2015, a Hennepin County judge dismissed the charges against Levy Armstrong and the ten others charged by Bloomington. That was 2014.

The second was for blocking I-94 in order to protest a shooting of some kid. She was arrested, thrown in the slammer, and promptly released. That was in 2015.

Both times previous she was let off with no charges. Of course, that wasn't the Feds. And, it will be interesting to see if the prosecution is allowed to show a history of this type behavior.

Let's clarify "Lutherans" first.

A couple of the OTHER versions of the Lutheran Church (ELCA as an example) might as well just declare themselves branches of the United Methodist Church, because those branches no longer believe in anything associated with Christian doctrine.

273 Our country has violated the "wall" of separation between Church and State.

The progs brought us the Church of Progress in Modern Convenience.

These are the only values you are allowed to hold. Or allowed to express through government.

Abortion is modern convenience, and freedom of speech is relatively inconvenient if it makes progressives uncomfortable. Thus freedom of speech and assembly can be overruled by the convenience of abortion.

And progs demand that any demotion of the convenience of abortion is a betrayal of our system of rights--even if express rights are subordinated to "implied rights".

That is exactly what the issue was. Leftists in the media are no longer content to just report but they want to become involved.

Remember O'Keefe's arrest over taping some twat?

Antifa in particular uses the idea of embedded journalists while they are committing their crimes to the point where they wear helmets at riots declaring them as such while they show mayhem up close.

By and large, if the action itself is illegal, then any journalist participating in the act can also be charged. Look toward leak charges. Person A steals a document and hands it to Journalist B to publicize. Generally no charges for the Journalist other than making them name their source.

But, if Journalist B incites Person A to steal documents, then you are complicit and a co conspirator and no shield for you as a journalist.

283 I hear the constant complaint from conservatives that people need to go to jail if anything is to change. I disagree. It is easy to pose as a martyr. What needs to happen is for non-crazy Democrats to realize how crazy, corrupt, and despicable these people are. Jailing Walz for corruption would be nice, but it would be better if Democrats would stop electing crazy people to be their leaders.
Newsom, Pritzker, Seattle's new mayor Katie Wilson, Chicago's Brandon Johnson, Spanberger in Virginia, Mills in Maine. Democrats think they are at war with Trump and MAGA, while their real enemy is the cancer deep in the marrow of their own party. You could put all of these people in jail, but the corrupt system in these cities and states would just find a new set of useful idiots to sit in those seats.
What will bring them down and begin to return Blue areas around is proof of corruption and incompetence. The more corruption is exposed in MN, the more elected officials gin up the paid protestors to distract the voters. All we need to do is focus on one two-part question: Is it incomptence or corruption behind _____ (name the program or policy)?

This is, without sarcasm and in full sincerity, a "power of and" situation.

Like much of our industry only moreso, finance is thoroughly fascistic. The big banks and the government are deeply in bed with another, and they scratch each-others' backs. If the feds want something, the banks will snap to without even a whisper of discontent. When the banks want something, they pick up and call their pet critters and regulators. They have a gigantic circle-jerk going and the splooge, as always, drips down on us.

Big Tech is just as bad, if not possibly somehow even worse.

So sure, *this* time the feds might have made the call. Whatever. I don't much care who's willy the splooge flew out of, because next time it will be the other. It really doesn't matter. Both are bad actors.

Does not matter as for liability. A incites B to do something illegal. B does that illegal act, B is still on the hook for liability even if the government told them to do it. Government, on the other hand, gets qualified immunity because it would come down to we never said Chase HAD to debank Trump. We told Chase it should debank Trump.

Frankly fuck the big bankstas, they are not necessary and should be unwound to regional banks again.

You can tell Dimon is still under the legal constraints placed on him by the Feds. He’s even gone so far as to say they need to change the laws. I guess Trumps lawyers feels there’s enough for a civil judgement, but discovery will be interesting. If they unseal that part of the testimony you’re going to find, not surprisingly, that Democrats used the federal government to coerce and force companies into action against their enemies list. Trump also want to sue the regulators.

Dimon is a douchebag CEO that views himself as a master of the universe. My guess is they didn't have to twist Dimon's arm a bit to debank Trump because at the time, no one, even here, could see Trump coming back. So compliance was no problem for Dimon.

409 18 U.S.C. § 241, known as "Conspiracy Against Rights," criminalizes two or more people conspiring to injure, threaten, or intimidate someone in their free exercise of rights secured by the U.S. Constitution or federal laws. It protects fundamental rights like voting, testifying, and freedom from violence, and is a key tool for federal civil rights enforcement.

Used to indict Donald Trump (2023) on charges, including conspiracy against rights, in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, specifically regarding the right to vote and have votes counted.

Also employed in the 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting, hate-motivated murders at the Tree of Life synagogue; in the prosecution of individuals involved in violence, including the killing of a counter-protester @ Charlottesville's 2017 Unite the Right Rally, and also in federal charges against Dylan Roof for racially motivated killings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church 2015.

There is talk by people who follow the industry that the real rift between Powell and Trump is the power the Fed holds over bank regulation; and that Bessent is interested in breaking that hold, and sending the Fed back to its original role of backstopping the major banks and letting the Treasury regulate small regional banks that run retail banking for local loans to local businesses instead.

Judge Faruqui has gained attention for his criticism of the Department of Justice under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, particularly in September 2025, when he stated that prosecutors had lost all credibility, saying, “There’s no credibility left,” over the handling of cases tied to a federal crime crackdown in D.C.

He is known for presiding over numerous January 6th Capitol breach cases and for rulings involving cryptocurrency sanctions, civil liberties, and judicial independence.

You might want to read up on the 2008 financial crisis. The corporations were the bad guys too. And the general public got screwed coming and going while the masters of the universe responsible for the mess got taxpayer money courtesy of Congress fearing the system failure.

Glass Steagal was written for a reason and that is large banks and their executives do not have the public interest at heart, and threatening to destroy a nation's finances unless they get bailed out is one of the least of their issues.

Corporations are just as nasty and unforgiving as big government so the solution is the same, reduce all big organizations to smaller ones to make them compete again.

I think the idea is to get the congregation out safety, and then you have the leaders or the police pull aside the ringleaders and talk to the agitators. But the congregation above all needs to be safe and doesn't need to be around for all that nonsense.

Also, the images of cops busting up protestors in a church, potentially hurting a kid, is the exact footage they want.

This would never have happened but for two key government acts/programs:

1. The CRA which made banks take forecastable losses where the solution was MBSs and layering bad debt with good.

2. Sarbanes-Oxley which made assets necessarily be accounted at market value.

The drop in value made MBSs where the A-level risks offset the D-level losses toxic. Most lending institutions needed immediate assets to offset outstanding liabilities already on the books.

Thus "swaps" were a way to temporarily put assets in your portfolio to offset the present losses.

CRA and MBSs had survived other downturns, because assets did not have to be counted at market value.

500 This is why plenty of people say "The CRA existed before 2006, but it never caused such an effect."

No, it needed mandatory market-accounting to really allow MBSs to become toxic owing to a wave of loan defaults.

It is very likely that, without Sarbanes-Oxley, the A-tier of MBS would far offset the D-level defaults, as they normally do over time.

Mark-to-market caused the emergency, swaps worked as long as they could to offset temporary losses but when the swap guarantors collapsed, i.e, Bear Stearns, MBS losses could not be offset so easily any more, making them fully toxic.

Investment businesses contributed, but they were forced into what they did by waves of government fiat which did not calculate the consequences, but only waved the banner of their Commerce powers.

The Morning Rant: A Deal For Cuba?

punk-monkey.jpg

The Cuban people have been suffering under the yoke of a particularly brutal communist dictatorship since 1959. They were propped up by the USSR for 30 years, with oil and industrial machinery and weapons (so many weapons!) in return for being a convenient thorn in the side of America, and a fomenter of revolution across the world. After the Soviet Union fell, they had to scramble for oil, and Venezuela stepped up! Shocking nobody with a brain, China also began to strengthen it ties to the Cuban government.

But with the capture of Maduro, and the Venezuelan government increasingly dancing to America's tune, at least with respect to petroleum, Where will Cuba get its oil?

Mexico! And with the permission of the Trump administration, which makes a certain amount of sense. Penalizing the people of Cuba by denying them what little in basic necessities they have is a cruel and unnecessary step without first beginning the process of ending communism in Cuba.

But how to do that?

WSJ: Trump Seeks Cuban Regime Change by End of 2026

"Cuba's rulers are incompetent Marxists who have destroyed their country, and they have had a major setback with the Maduro regime that they are responsible for propping up," a White House official said, adding that Cuba should "make a deal before it's too late."

President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post earlier in the month: "Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela."

"In return, Cuba provided 'Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE," he continued. "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA — ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."


Ah...another deal!

What kind of deal can there be that frees the Cuban people? The communist rulers of Cuba will not go willingly, and they have a comprehensive security and surveillance apparatus that would make the Stasi blush with embarrassment.

Will we demand that the Cuban communist party give up power and then force the government to have free elections? Or we will sponsor an invasion, like we did in 1961? That went well. Actually, it did for American communists. JFK and the Democrat Party supported the communists by withholding air support!

We can strengthen the embargo, push back against Chinese influence, eventually begin to decrease oil imports from Mexico, support dissidents within Cuba (if they dare to speak publicly against the pervasive terror), and what else? Of course we could invade and make short shrift of the Cuban army, but it would be bloody, and we would suffer casualties. Or perhaps decapitation strikes that destroy the leadership?

But Cuba is a special case. Their communism is protected by the geography of the Island. There are no land borders that can be used by smugglers, both of goods, and of arms and ideas. Their communication is controlled quite well by the state, and their army is comparatively well fed and well paid. And they have survived for 67 years just a few miles from the coast of their Great Satan!

The conventional wisdom was that with the softening of America's tone, Cuba's communism would wither, and it would become a soft socialist state. That never happened, and with three generations of indoctrination, the odds are long that it will happen now.

The people of Cuba need our help, but what that help will be is the big question!

To his credit, he has kept his cockholster shut since retiring. Or maybe he’s dead, I’m not taking the time to check.

Castro and the boys were insisting on a “first strike” on America with the Soviet deployed nuclear missiles in October, 1962. They realized it meant the utter destruction of Cuba by massive retaliation.

It was the Soviets who had to expunge Cuban missile crews and prevent just such an occurrence. As it was, Soviet commanders on the ground had wide latitude and could easily have kicked off World War III

17 For some numbers - the best estimate I've seen is that Cuba requires about 100,000 BOPD to maintain their economy and electrical systems. Cuba itself has some small production capability, producing an estimated 40,000 BOPD. Throughout last year, Mexico provided approx 19,000 BOPD, and Venezuela provided approx 37,000 BOPD.
As you see, leaving Cuba hanging on with just barely enough to get by on a daily basis. There were probably unrecorded shipments of refined products that added to these numbers, but not too many.

So Mexico is saying they will keep doing what they've been doing (they say they have a contract), but no more.
Which means the Cuba is 37,000 BOPD short of what they need to keep operating, with no saviors in sight.
It goes without saying that they don't have the financial resources to purchase the shortfall from anyone.

In dollar terms, someone needs to donate about $66 million a month to Cuba just for them to keep their heads above water. Barely.

I've only known Cuba as communist my whole life. It was funny to watch "Guys and Dolls" die the first time and see him whisk her off on a whirlwind trip to Cuba for a date.

I've visited the Bacardi distillery in San Juan. The family had to flee Cuba after the revolution and set up shop in Puerto Rico. It's a nice little boat ride across the bay from old San Juan to the distillery, and you get a free drink token. And there's certain rare rums that they only sell at the gift shop at that location. (I bought one as a gift for a friend and accidentally packed it in my carry on!! So they confiscated it. Some San Juan airport workers were drinking well that night!)

If Cuba manages to get liberated this year, the Horde will have to drink a round of Cuba Libres in celebration!

Apparently Katy Perry has him by the short hairs and wears the pants in that relationship. Allegedly. I'm sure Orlando Bloom is glad to be done with her nonsense.

Orlando was supposedly hitting on Sidney Sweeney hard at the Bezos wedding, as were a lot of hot famous guys. But I guess Scooter Braun played it cool and hooked up with her later. I'm sure his money helped! If she's as conservative as her family, I hope dating Scooter doesn't turn her to the liberal dark side.

97 I've always been of the opinion that one of the major things propping up the Cuban government has been the US embargo. My idea is that it gives the Cuban government a convenient scapegoat for the miserable lives of their citizens. I think that if that embargo was to simply go away, or maybe even soften dramatically, the regime would be forced to do something to maintain it, or change would just sort of happen automatically.

Rightly or wrongly, that's my opinion and therefore I'm fond of it.

Nice! If they arrested her, they will certainly also arrest that loudmouth homo who looks like Bigfoot's dick. Don LeHomo is a tougher call, because although he's certainly guilty he has the veneer of being a reporter. Sure. I do think they arrest him too, though.

160 That was the traditional anchor of their economy. Saw that last year Cuba's sugar production was the lowest since 1921. (I've been researching this a bit)

There's no money for fertilizer, and gas and diesel allocations have been going to the military, not farmers. So sugar production is down to what the peasants can plant with a mule and a wooden plow.

Cuba cigar production also crashed. The quality fell off long ago, as the best cigar-makers fled the country to DR, Nicaragua, and elsewhere. Now the industry is in tatters. Sure, they'll tell you exports are great, but it's always to countries (like China) where it's impossible to verify the claims. Don't believe it.

Grok on German nuke plants:

It is technically possible for up to 6 reactors (out of ~17 total shut down historically, but focusing on recent/less dismantled ones), per nuclear industry groups like KernD and reports (e.g., Brokdorf potentially by late 2025, Emsland/Grohnde by 2028, more later).

This represents roughly 30-35% of Germany's former nuclear fleet capacity that could feasibly restart with investment and policy change.

The last three (Isar 2, Emsland, Neckarwestheim 2) have advanced decommissioning; operators say restart is no longer realistic.

this highlights one of the big problems with social media, including X, and I don't know how we're going to deal with it in the long term. Posters get income off the number of clicks and traffic they can generate (Cynical Publius did a good numerical breakdown of how this works a couple week back) and the simple, dirty fact is that a shitposter can make a lot of money by posting outrageously stupid things that get people talking about it and quoting the stupid thing he's said.

That's what Candace Owen's entire schtick has really been about, and that's what Piker is doing here. Is it true? Who Cares!!!! People Talk about it, and I get Paid!

Same premise, a bit more direct. I was surprised Trump gave the green light to Israel to go ham on Iran....but then the reports came in as to what they were targeting. The Electrical grid was the first thing they bombed the ever living hell out of. Then, they went after select IRG forces and Intelligence officials.

I predict Cuba will be a bit more covert and challenge the odds of it all happening at once. Trump took away the oil revenue that Cuba used for income. Now, making the rest teeter on the edge should start the ball rolling a bit faster. Attack them where their weakest seems to be a valid plan.

255 Melania documentary will be in theaters Jan. 30? Here is the trailer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e9FJit5XiqU

I love the last clip of the trailer, she's obviously in Trump Tower in NYC. Trump to her: did you watch it? Her: I did not, I'll catch it in the news.

In that scene is a Renoir, I looked it up to see if it's real. Because I could totally see Trump owning a Renoir! It's a reproduction of La Loge, and the original painting is London's Courtauld Gallery.

AI says: Art writers noted the irony of the choice, suggesting parallels between the woman in the painting (representing social aspiration) and Melania Trump, especially given previous instances of Trump properties displaying fake Renoirs, like Two Sisters on the Terrace...some see owning fake Renoirs as a form of "Aspirational fakery."

So...everyone that owns a poster of Starry Night in their home is performing aspirational fakery??

Which in turn causes innocent commenters to be frequently locked out because their VPN service and IP numbers were used by banned trolls.

Nowadays, better ways exist than VPNs if you are in this country--namely anonymized DNS servers that encrypt your DNS requests going and coming so your ISP cannot track you very well. Doesn't work for trolls but well enough for average people.

The exception to the rule is if you are the type to try to use free wifi everywhere then you need to be using a VPN for a cell phone access. Not necessary on a properly locked down network even to obscure your IP if you want. Never grant programs or apps access to exact location for starters.

They sit there flabbergasted realizing they have been lied to their entire lives. They are taught in grade school that the US wants to kill them all. And, without China propping up NK purposefully for their own benefit, it would have long since joined with SK. Discipline is brutal, final, and plentiful in NK. It makes Cuba look like Romper Room.

279 Cuba cigar production also crashed. The quality fell off long ago, as the best cigar-makers fled the country to DR, Nicaragua, and elsewhere. Now the industry is in tatters. Sure, they'll tell you exports are great, but it's always to countries (like China) where it's impossible to verify the claims. Don't believe it.

Cuban Cohibas are still damn fine cigars but not worth the hassle or price they ask for them. I'll treat myself when I go to the Cayman Islands or somewhere else where real-deal Cubans are available and I know I'm not getting a shitty imposter.

But you're correct, DR, Nica, and Honduras are the epicenter of good cigars. The Cubans that fled there also brought their tobacco seeds.

Yea, I keep a stock of cubans in my humidor for special occasions, but even after aging them the quality isn't what it once was. Either that, or the other cigars got that much better. Or both. My go-to cigar maker is AJ Fernandez.

290 >>> Posters get income off the number of clicks and traffic they can generate (Cynical Publius did a good numerical breakdown of how this works a couple week back) and the simple, dirty fact is that a shitposter can make a lot of money by posting outrageously stupid things that get people talking about it and quoting the stupid thing he's said.

This sucks, but it also goes the other way in a positive way. With the Amelia meme, people saw that YouTube channels with like a max of 10k subscribers were getting five times the views of that when they posted an Amelia video. So then those channels made their OWN Amelia videos, to cash in on the interest and also get a boost in fees and likes. And the legend of Amelia spread far faster then it would have if not for monetized likes and views.

It's a crazy reward system, and I don't know how to fix the problems without ruining what makes it special in the first place.

A lot of it might also be learned helplessness.

You can only go through the cycle of "Hey, this might turn out nice" to "Wow, that didn't turn out nice at all" so many times before you stop believing that anything nice could ever happen.

Trolling is as old as Usenet. There used to be a famous Usenet post widely disseminated guide to trolls as to describing behavior, typology, etc. Sort of like Dungeons and Dragons Monster manual.

Some are paid, some do it because of psychological issues, and some do it for the cause, whatever that might be. And some lack enough self awareness to realize that they have become a troll themselves by using many of the same tactics that trolls do.

56 Flirting is such fun. Both as the fllirter and the flirtee. It makes everyone happy. You feel seen. And appreciated. It’s lighthearted. It’s complimentary.

It’s a skill too. One that the younger generation hasn’t been able to figure out. Kinda sad.

In more civilized times, it was known that young women might suffer failures in judgement, hence having chaperones on hand to avoid trouble.

Then we decided that women didn't need any of that, they could have sex without consequences, and then we had to legalize killing babies on an industrial scale.

We call this "progress."

It's a nice quip, but Churchill tried desperately to keep Italy out of the war, and he was honest enough to include his correspondence in The Second World War.

If Italy had stayed out, the Brits would have been able to run convoys through the Med, eliminating the need for the campaigns in Africa, meaning more ships, men and aircraft for the Pacific and of course defending England.

Linda Ronstadt played a pivotal role in the formation of The Eagles, serving as the catalyst that brought founding members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner together. In 1971, while assembling her backing band for her Silk Purse Tour, Ronstadt recruited the musicians -- then known as Shiloh and the Stone Canyon Band -- after hearing them perform her song "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. The band members bonded during the tour, and by its end, Frey and Henley decided to form their own group, which became The Eagles.

"Slut walks" were a desperate cry for attention.

They wanted to be seen as sexy, but also wanted to be able to turn down lots of guys. A mass of angry contradictions.

I'm old enough to remember in the 1990s a big feminist issue was letting students date faculty, because the coeds wanted to marry a high status prof.

"We're fully mature adults who can make informed choices," they said. A decade later they were helpless, incapable of giving "true" consent because of power imbalances.

168 Okay, this is a charming image done very well. The quality of the light helps set the mood of playfulness and tradition: boy meets girl. I especially like the older woman, smiling at the familiar scene and probably recalling her own girlhood. Yes, it is romanticized with the rustic farm house, the aged timber frame, the ongoing house work and the chicken (pet or future meal?) in the room. The postures are relaxed and restful to look at. It is an all together pleasant image. I need to look for others by this artist.

This has the feel of a Carl Larsson domestic scene, just transferred to Italy.

NYPD detectives say they were disrespected at NYU Langone Health in Brooklyn, denied treatment
 
COBBLE HILL, Brooklyn (WABC) -- NYPD detectives say they were disrespected and treated rudely at a local hospital after going to emergency room for treatment.
 Police officials say the detectives arrived at the emergency room at NYU Langone Health in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, but they were confronted by security guards who questioned who they were and why they were there.
 Sources told Eyewitness News that the detectives were in plainclothes and explained that one of them needed treatment for a minor injury after a scuffle with a suspect. They were allegedly detained and one of them was refused entry with his service weapon. The confrontation left union leaders infuriated. It happened on Friday. A department spokesperson says NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch accepted the apology from the hospital.

One reason I watch Weather Nation is that they do not name storms, or acknowledge the Weather Channel's idiocy. Also, no dumb shows about climate crisis, just the weather. All the time.

230 Debbie Harry and Chris Stein struggled for band success for years in NYC. They were in someone elses band, then formed one that didn't take off after. Debbie was a natural brunette, then bleached her hair. As Chris and Debbie walked around, guys would yell "Hey, Blondie" from down the block and across the street. Gave them the idea for the band. so, catcalls had a lot to do with their success.

We didn't do it. What you're seeing is that for women, flirting is cost-free and fun and for men, it can lead to complete ruin.

It is a high-risk, low-reward activity. I used to flirt in the 1990s, but when I got a job, that was over. Strictly business, no physical contact.

237 >>>You'll never figure out women. If you say something playful and the woman finds you somewhat attractive, it's fine and flirting

There was a rare funny modern SNL skit where they have an office scenario showing how hypocritical women are about this. The nerdy guy who flirts with the lady at the office is in her eyes a creep, and the handsome guest host (was it Chris Hemsworth?) who does the same thing is in her eyes charming and dreamy. It was ever thus.

Say anything, with the guy playing a boombox with "In your eyes" outside your window at night is only romantic if you actually like the guy. Otherwise he's a crazy stalker.

Do men ever get the benefit of the doubt? Johnny Depp actually scored a rare win, but most of the time it's guilty until prov- oh wait, just guilty.

I live in a college town, and for many years the Obama College Inquisition regularly destroyed men because reasons. There was a case where a football player who was an NFL prospect was accused of rape and that was it. Millions of dollars gone. He fought back, and sued the university and it came out that his accuser was not raped, but wanted sex without a condom so she could be a baby momma and get a piece of his salary for 18 years.

He then refused to have sex with her, and she accused him of rape. The university paid him a bunch of money, but then had to pay HER money as well, because reasons.

Tons of examples of that, plus HR Commissars running all over the place. Easier just to keep things formal, distant. I don't really miss flirting and my wife prefers that I don't, so it's not an issue.

311 Wasn't there a gal app that supposedly allowed them to warn of creeper guys, which was Stunning, Brave and Empowering but then a male app was developed allowing men to wave other men off from psycho chicks, and they went apeshit.

There was and I believe still is. Tea. IIRC, to have an account you must submit your personal information and a photo. Which the app developer stores in an unsecured, public, folder. So folks started posting the names/pics of women who'd said shit and what they'd said.

That was the first instance of apeshit related to the app.

It was ever thus.

Say anything, with the guy playing a boombox with "In your eyes" outside your window at night is only romantic if you actually like the guy. Otherwise he's a crazy stalker.

I've lived along the northeast coast most of my life. Storms are a normal part of life around here. I was living at my old place for the April Fools Day storm in 1997. We lost power for almost 5 days and the plows didn't dig us out until day 4.

The weather guys are often wrong, particularly around here where the weather can change at a moments notice and the difference between a moderate snowfall and 3 feet of wet snow can be a few miles. Being prepared is kind of a thing.

Here's the thing: It's very clear--at least to me--that these issues seem concentrated highly in certain regions, and not nearly so present in others. It's almost as if there's been a certain amount of cultural sorting over the past few decades leading to very different experiences and outcomes.

If only there was some way to track where that was the case, maybe something to do with internal migration and economic patterns...

380 349 So you've never been to a party where other women insist on talking with you while your wife is off to powder her nose?

LOL

Memorably, this happened to me at a party way back in the day. My now-wife then-gf went to the ladies' room, and this other female acquaintance of mine finds me standing alone and starts blatantly hitting on me, and when I say blatant I mean I'm a typical dude who needs to be clubbed over the head with a "hint" to get it, and I got it.

Entertained it for about a minute to feed my young ego, then saw my wife making her way back toward me, grabbed a buddy I knew well, and wingmanned him right into the other girl's face. They went home together that night and later got married, had two kids, and are no longer together.

Good times lol.

406 Well, I just got here and you guys let me down.

- what is the small painting of man praying? I thought it was a Rembrandt but probably not.

- what is meaning of the olive leaves? I wonder if it means hope.

The painting is filled with symbolism (spinster, caged bird, granny...) so I sure it means something. Maybe they both mean hope. I don't know.

407 AH, I used google and

Also, she is clearly embroidering a wedding dress.

The Morning Report — 1/22/26

ICE-lipid.jpg

Good morning kids. As someone who has written professionally for many years, including books, screenplays and editorials, I can honestly say that one thing I am particularly proud of is, believe it or not, a single word! Chutzpocrisy For the sake of those who are not regular readers of this column, it is a mashup of the Yiddish word "chutzpah" which means gall and the English word hypocrisy.

Given the nature of the Democrat/Left insofar as who and what they are and what they have done to our nation and society, more and more with each passing year if not week or day, the things that they do and say are so perfectly encapsulated in that word. Today's example comes from a particularly loathsome bastard, one Hakeem Jeffries.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) commented on the possibility of a government shutdown over ICE by saying that, among “things that we believe are appropriate in this instance, are demanding be part of any final bill,” would be a requirement that “ICE should not be able to storm houses of worship, hospitals, and schools.”

The unmitigated chutzpocrisy of this radioactive glittering turd is so unbearable that even Ray Charles wearing iridium-coated Raybans could feel a searing pain in his eye sockets were he watching from the surface of a supernova 5 billion light years from earth,

Storming houses of Worship, hospitals and schools?! Not even a single peep when Don Lemon who might have organized and led a band of "agitators" and stormed into a Minneapolis church over the weekend to "protest" ICE's rounding up of criminal illegal aliens in that city in particular and all over the nation in general. Ditto the raking of police stations with gunfire as well as synagogues and religious schools with little children in them.

The words "agitators" and "protest are in quotes because this was an act of dictionary and legal definition terrorism carried out by terrorists. Irrespective of the fact that this might have been the church where the priest was identified as supposedly being in the employ or otherwise working with ICE, the act of violently and loudly bursting into a church during a service to shriek at the parishioners is beyond abhorrent. It is straight up evil.

Asking Hakeem Jeffries what he thinks of this is a waste of breath. His silence speaks volumes. He like all the other demonic vermin in the coven known as the Democrat party are cheering this on.


Well, there's terrorism, there's state-sponsored terrorism and then there's this!


Gov. JB Pritzker, in a statement, said the allegations “raise serious concerns for people struggling to maintain housing — and the communities that have been profiled and relentlessly targeted by the federal government during its violent immigration enforcement operations. State law prohibits discrimination, and that includes aiding or abetting conduct intended to interfere with housing and civil rights. Illinois will not tolerate conduct that puts anyone in Illinois at risk of discrimination or harm.”

To be clear about what’s going on here, the Pritzker regime in Illinois has decided to define cooperation with federal law enforcement as a form of illegal discriminatory conduct that it can penalize.

After demonstrating that landlords can be penalized for tipping off ICE, then it’ll be the turn of other small businesses, and then finally cooperating with ICE will be deemed a ‘hate crime’.

Meh. This is from the same people who created the Garland Archipelago and rounded up anyone who was within 5 miles of the Capitol on January 6th 2021 for the crime of protesting the election the Democrats stole. Just as no Democrats will ever face justice let alone go to prison for all their crimes, you can bet that this landlord is going to be sent straight to Joliet Prison courtesy of a rigged prosecutor, Judge and jury. The message is now loud and clear, the Democrats now run Barter Town, they have proclaimed themselves Master/Blaster and Aunty Entity rolled into one. Defy them and one way or another it's (finger across neck in slicing motion).


Frey said, “In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with ICE or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.”

If Jacob Frey is not arrested and charged with insurrection, and the Insurrection Act invoked, then the next church that is targeted by Leftists will have parishioners shot to ribbons.

I do like the Babylon Bee's Pentecostal Church Riot story.

Though I don't disagree that it is evil, this is mild compared to their usual interaction with the church: vandalism, arson, shootings, banning worship due to the flu, etc.

A few of the reasons we are hearing of this one is because Don Lemond was feeling he wasn't getting enough attention, and BLM coffers needing replenishment so they field a fund raising stunt.

We are just playing along with the Rage Bait for neurochemical addition reasons:

HOLY HELL. JB Pritzker just went nuclear on Trump: “Donald Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. And Donald Trump and his cronies can f*** all the way off.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signs Clean Slate Act into law. All nonviolent felony records will be automatically sealed starting in 2031.

So, he's speed-running all the Left activist checkboxes: dropping F-bombs to sound tough, Trump=Nazi, protecting felons, protecting illegals. He's definitely preparing to run waddle in 2028.

1. They have to know who to arrest.

He got A deal. I have a feeling it's not Greenland becoming US territory. He left plenty of wiggle-room on what he would accept. Some kind of treaty guaranteeing US control of surrounding waters, mineral rights, right to build military facilities and station troops. Basically, all the rights and activities he wanted, but not official ownership of the land.

What are JB Pritzker's thoughts on Virginia HB 333 which requires schools to teach:

• that the 2020 Election was the purest most responsible election ever held;
• banning the word "peaceful" when describing J6 demonstrations,
• must include the words "unprecedented violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure and representatives"

This is not only to be taught, but a criminal act not to include this in all Virginia instruction materials.

75 White women in Minnesota telling a black ICE agent he is a race traitor for arresting illegals.

There is a lot to unpack from that one small statement.

The most interesting, that clearly needs more definition, is the term "race traitor".

First of all, these knuckleheads consider "Islam" to be a race, they routinely group Hispanics as "White" when booking them as criminals, and think that someone who has a white mother and an unknown black father is "black" (who might not even be, himself one hundred percent black)

But the word "traitor"... especially in the context of immigration status and nationality. My immediate thought is if we keep "traitor" in its somewhat original form, she literally is considering this person's immigration to be included in an act of war and a bona fide invasion

2) Muduro gets snatched while the Chinese trade delegation is in town, tracking their movements to confirm where Muduro was.

Spy vs. Spy.

Code Pink is heavily funded by the Chinese.
We in 1, told China we know and have mapped their network.
In 2, we told them they don't know how much we've mapped and, worse for them, they have no idea how extensive our spy network is.

Trump didn't show MTG a poll she'd lose the senate race--he showed her proof she's compromised and has taken money from and provided intel to China.
She blew up b/c she took it as a personal offense to call her friend Media Benjamin, a Chinese spy.

Nope. Just a legal name change. And some "certificate of co-habitation" or such.

Why does that matter?

B/c the $1.5 million GoFundMe is for "the widow and family of Renea Good."

You know how women almost always want to "burn the whole MFer down" in a divorce? The "if I can't have it, I'll make sure no one will" scorched earth?

Lesbo relationships are statistically, far more often violent and abusive.
And Becca is going to burn the whole MFer down once Renea's family says that $1.5 milli is theirs.

And the only way to do that is to void the GFM.
Meaning, Becca is going to release the whole vid, showing extensive criminal acts prior by Renea.

166 Regarding Minnesota, Trump is acting like the vastly underrated Union General "Pap" Thomas, a loyal Virginian who has the unique honor of completely destroying not one but two enemy field armies during the Civil War. Nashville was his masterpiece, and it was the only time a major field army was taken off the board by either side.

Yet at the time, Grant was irate with him for taking so long, and considered firing him. Thomas had to deal with winter weather, but also wanted to break the back of Confederate resistance completely, and he did so, shattering Hood's army completely. It ceased to exist as an organized entity, but was instead reduced to scattered groups of disorganized stragglers.

Trump is moving behind the scenes, but also giving the left more rope to hang themselves. Each outrage further strengthens his hand. It's frustrating, but the left keeps stepping rakes, and being able to lock up Don Lemon is a hoot. The left is in a purity spiral, and allowing them to drive ever more normies into fits of rage is a good thing.

186 I took a geology course in college and a guest lecturer came in and pointed out that "at current usage rates and growth trends, we have about 25 years of oil left before we run out" has been the story since the 70s.

I was kind of surprised that someone in a modern US university would spout a truth like that.

237 > Alaska vs. Greenland: Two Inuit homelands, two systems—and very different outcomes

There are no "Inuit" in Alaska. While the Inupiat are fairly closely related to the Canadian Inuit, and don't usually mind being called that (you might get a behind-your-back eye roll), the largest group of Alaskan Eskimos, by far, is the Yupik. Historically the two groups did not get along (to put it mildly). Most of them do not like being called "Inuit". At all.

Calling a Yupik "Inuit" is like calling a Spaniard "French" because they both speak Romance languages, or an Arab a "Jew" because they both speak Semitic languages.

In other words, there's some probability of getting your ass kicked.

We're only in this mess because a bunch of stupid white Canadian communists decided that Eskimo is a racist term (it isn't) and that "Inuit" is the correct term for all speakers of Eskimo-Aleut languages (it isn't).

We won't even go into how pissed off the Indians ("Native Americans") get if you call them "Inuit" OR "Eskimo".

Unless you're 100% sure what the person is, and what he wants to be called, your best policy is to refer to him as an "Alaska Native".

There's that and I think something at least equally profound if less obvious. Trump is reordering the world power structure. Globalism is dead and the multi-culti, touchy feely approach to world affairs is over. There is one super power left in the world and it's the United States of America. No alliance like NATO is going to dictate how we operate any longer. We will determine how we operate.

Off to the oral surgeon, who wrenched the bugger out (in four pieces) with surgical pliers. So today is a day of rest, especially after a sleepless night. Pain is almost gone, but there's a hole that requires frequent care, and I'm on the soft food diet for a while.

255 The Lincoln cannot onboard 25,000 troops. Even if all of the Lincoln's ship's company were off-loaded and the carrier air wing component flown off, it couldn't support 25,000 troops.

Perhaps there are other ships in the strike group that can, but, no, not the Lincoln.

Under the deal, which mimics Britain’s agreement with Cyprus, American bases on the Arctic island would be considered US territory, The Telegraph understands.

This all could have been easily done without the drama.Denmark is incredibly favorable toward the US and would have welcomed the idea of additional military bases.

327 ... I've seen this story/theory that Seward's Folly was really a repayment to the Czar for help during the Civil War. The Czar supposedly threw in Alaska to deflect attention that it was a repayment for naval blockage help.
Posted by: SMOD

Russia was quite supportive of the Union during the Civil War, and did supply it with some intelligence re the British, but that was about it. Their support did play a factor in the Senate debate about the Alaska purchase.

The main reason they wanted to sell Alaska to us was because they didn't want the British to get it.

Fun fact: The last shots of our Civil War were fired in Russian waters, by the Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah, against Yankee whalers.

It could be purposefully false information to force Iran to consider an amphibious assault. If you have 25,000 troops off the coast, troops have to be moved out of the cities to counter it.

CNBC:

Top business leaders this week delivered an expletive-laden plea in defense of climate action, describing the backlash to Europe’s green transition as an “aberration.”

In an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Allianz
CEO Oliver Bäte said he disagreed with the suggestion that it may just be a matter of time before net zero is dismissed in Europe, saying short-term thinking on this issue is “bulls---.”

Asked about political leaders backtracking on their much-vaunted European Green New Deal and Norway’s oil fund reportedly defending a push from companies to water down their climate goals, Bäte said anyone who has children “will have to worry” about the planet’s future.

I don't know what percentage of homeless have mental health issues, but I suspect the percentage is rather high.

So perhaps we could reframe this as providing government provided, affordable housing for the homeless.
With meals and healthcare provided at no additional cost to the resident of the facility.

38 Yes, I have shopping to do today; we're due for some sharp cold starting Sunday evening. One upside to it is that Miss Linda has had to reschedule our Monday trip to the zoo. She gets free passes from somewhere, so the only cost in $ would be gas for my car. But I'm not looking forward to traipsing around the place for three hours even if the weather is good. It's just tiring to stand and move as slowly as a sloth. The concessions are not cheap, either.

39 It's also time to buy the oil and filter for the car's next oil change. But I can wait on that until tomorrow or Saturday, I guess. After my trip to IN, where the Buick performed so well, I thought I might splurge on a big-brand oil. But the car won't know -- and Walmart's own Supertech brand, which is in the engine now, meets the same GM specs and is vastly cheaper.

44 WRT mass layoffs being easier onsite than remote, as I recounted, my wife's friend was downsized from her job a couple of months ago, it was done over a teams call with 10 other people that were being let go.

They even muted and turned off cameras of people that were getting upset.

I thought that was wild but in retrospect, I think that way, though cold, is most efficient and reduces potential physical confrontations.

The '16 Buick has the big engine, a 3.6 L V-6 that pumps out 300 hp. (Not that I've ever come close to using it all.) The manual says to use 5W-30 oil with the Dexos certification. I know there are plenty of solid oils which don't pay for that certification; but it makes for a convenient way to compare the brands.

When I finally move farther north, perhaps I'll go to a 0W-30 to deal with starting in cold weather. But a 5W is good down as far as the -20s, something I don't plan on ever seeing.

Yesterday morning we had a spate of freezing rain, sleet and snow over about 3 hours. You'd have thought it was the "Death Storm." I-65 between Louisville and Elizabethtown, KY was shut down. Numerous spots in the area were the scene of multi-car wrecks, slide-offs and the like. Businesses shuttered before opening. Schools closed.

There was no accumulations of snow or ice. Roads that were wet, became "icy," which was expected.

Death Storm 2026 will certainly kill us all....

So, we sort and store things in the former suites, which is a mess, actually. Things get put in the bathrooms and forgotten, the lighting is not great, traffic gets snarled.

Isaac Asimov stated in a 1986 interview on the Manhattan public access show Conversations with Harold Hudson Channer -- with guest co-host Marilyn vos Savant:

"It's a little humbling to think that, what is most likely to survive of everything I've said... After all, I've published now... I've published now at least 20 million words. I'll have to figure it out, maybe even more. But of all those millions of words that I've published, I am convinced that 100 years from now only 60 of them will survive. The 60 that make up the Three Laws of Robotics."

OTOH, maybe they'll be forgotten by some or many in less than 40 years, sir ...

Posted by: no one of any consequence



I always tell people to learn YOUR state's definition of assault, because every state's definition is different. For example, Texas:

Assault
Sec. 22.01. ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.

A simple touch is enough for assault. Other states require more.

Issac Asimov always thought of himself as a caring, ethical, scientist. The Three Laws made sense to him, and he had fun in two collections of short stories and then the Spacer novels with the implications.

Alas, without positronic brains, now designers are making war robots. They can and are programmed to kill. Cheaper that way, really.

"The April 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a white high school student and football player from Frisco, Texas (near Dallas). During a UIL District 11-5A track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Metcalf (from Memorial High School) confronted 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony (from rival Centennial High School), who was allegedly in the wrong spot—sitting under Memorial's team tent or in the wrong bleacher area. Witnesses and reports indicate Metcalf told Anthony he needed to move or leave the area, as he didn't belong there with their team.

Anthony was arrested on the scene and charged with first-degree murder. He reportedly told investigators he was "protecting himself" or acting in self-defense, but police and the victim's family described it as unprovoked after a verbal dispute over the location/seating.As of the most recent reports (from early 2025 onward, with no major updates indicating resolution by January 2026), Anthony remains in custody without bond, and the case is ongoing in the criminal justice system.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - January 21, 2026 [TRex]

20260121-bridge.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

Random trivia - IKEA estimates that on average, it sells one Billy bookcase every five seconds. Other than Perfessor Squirrel and the book thread participants, I'm impressed that so many people have so many books that they need shelves to store them in an easily accessible manner. (BTW, the interweb says today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Perfessor - we appreciate you!)

The Billy bookcase was named after an IKEA advertising manager,Billy Likjedhal. It was first developed by IKEA in the 1970s.

20260120-billy-bookcase-white1.jpg

IKEA is an acronym. It stands for Ingvar (founder's first name), Kamprad (founder's surname), Elmtaryd (his family's farm) and Agunnaryd (the village in Smaland where he grew up).

Finnish finger wrestler breaks deadlift record by hoisting over 330 lbs with middle digit

20260121-Fingerpulling.jpg

On 31 December, the Finnish strongman [Juha Andersson] challenged the popular record for the heaviest deadlift with one finger, a title which has changed hands (or fingers) three times within 2025 alone. Yet Juha was more than confident that he could take the crown due to his championship background in competitive finger pulling, and on the last day of the year, the ultimate showdown began to see who has the toughest middle digit in the world.

And turns out, Juha was right - because on his second attempt, he easily yanked 336.42 lbs (152.60 kg) off the ground with just one finger, narrowly beating Egmond Molina's (Aruba) best of 334 lbs (151.5 kg) from four months prior.

"Competitive finger pulling"? Apparently so. In Germany it's called "fingerhakeln" and the Finnish version is named "sormikoukku."

Cue the "pull my finger" fart jokes (for the record, fart jokes are still funny).

The Wednesday ONT respects the Horde enough not to waste precious virtual ink on anything said by Gavin Newsom. However, an exception must be made this one time for his comments from Davos:

This is diplomacy with Donald Trump. He's a T-Rex. You mate with him, or he devours you, one or the other. The Europeans could be (devoured) if they continue down this path and process. They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united.

Others can debate the geopolitics but if you had "mating with a T-Rex" on your political bingo card for 2026, congratulations! I look forward to other dinosaur references in the vocabulary of public policy.

Maine factory that makes Lincoln Logs to close, setting off frantic search for new manufacturer

20260122-Logs.jpg

Lincoln Logs are among a handful of classic toys made in the USA with American trees, but that's likely to change in a matter of weeks.

Pride Manufacturing - the Maine factory that makes Lincoln Logs and other wood products - is closing in April after losing its biggest contract, to make cigar tips for another company.

That leaves toymaker Basic Fun scrambling to find a new factory to manufacture the century-old brand that was founded by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, John, and has been a staple in families' toy chests for decades.

Production of the $10 million brand will likely move overseas and cost consumers about 10% more, according to Jay Foreman, chief executive of Boca Raton, Fla.- based Basic Fun.

Basic Fun, which makes other classic toys - including Lite Brite, Care Bears and Tonka Trucks - has initiated a 45-day search for a US supplier but it is also preparing a back-up plan in China to make sure it can produce enough toys for the holidays, Foreman said.

The plastic pieces that come with Lincoln Log sets - including roofs and other accessories like farm animals and farmers - are made in China. They are shipped in bulk to the US and packed into the boxes and tins of wood parts that were made by Pride Manufacturing.

The Burnham, Maine, factory made the sets starting in 2014. "After our largest customer made the decision to relocate their sourcing for cigar tips, our highest volume product, the facility became financially unviable," the firm said in a statement.

Because some of you are likely more interested in the cigar angle to this story:

The customer, according to sources with knowledge of the situation, is John Middleton, a downmarket cigar maker and subsidiary of tobacco conglomerate Altria Company.

Altria did not immediately respond to a request for comment about about why it yanked its business from Pride, which is the only cigar tip operation in the US, according to sources.

The tips are made from birch wood and are sold as part of John Middleton's Black and Mild cigars, which come with FDA-approved flavored wood tips.

38 This fag needs to be called out every.single.time.

He just did this:

Deranged leftist activists illegally invaded a church service, interrupting worship and shutting down the church because the pastor has alleged ties to ICE. Don Lemon was there, livestreaming his participation in the event too. “This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest,” Don Lemon said as he and his comrades harassed families with children. “I’m sure people here don’t like it, but protests are not comfortable.”

Human Events’ Jack Posobiec confronted Newsom about the incident at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and he just claimed to have “literally” no idea what Posobiec was talking about.

“It’s funny. Somebody mentioned Don Lemon and Trump the other day, and so I have no idea what that’s about,” Newsom said, nodding his head and shrugging his shoulders.

“Don Lemon? Into a church?” he continued, with a (fake) embarrassed chuckle.

88 Love the ONT! Being from MS, around Vicksburg way, love that song. Saw Mountain for my very first concert in '71 and the song obviously brought down the house.

The only time I saw the MS River in Memphis I harfed, one of my 3 harfings from booze. This time my introduction to te-kill-ya. No thanks! Crazy story I may have told here.

Love the map of the weather. I know y'all don't need snow but we do out in the mountains of the West, so blow it back here. I'll take the very cold temps, too.

I had very good news today, after dreading this appt for 2mo (cardiologist). My fainting in November is apparently ye olde syncope of 4yrs ago and not cardiac related. I read the tests, 1/3 of brain thought it would be ok; 1/3 of brain thought more tests and stress to maybe be ok. One third of my brain never thought the PA would tell me I don't have to see her again unless I have problems! Incredibly thankful to God that all is well. I will continue to be good and lose weight.

I also love Tina Turner! By this summer my legs are going to look like hers. They aren't bad, but I want that muscle. Won't be dancing in heels, however. She was amazing! Sang right through her cardio workouts!

Posted by: LRob in OK at January 21, 2026 10:32 PM (47diA)

I believe Greenland has a small forest of birch trees in the southwest corner? But I was thinking rather of shipping suitable lumber there, have one shop mill it up into dowels, and then farm the dowels out to small home workshops that could mill the joints, and stain them. Other shops could do the packaging.

She's told tales since she was around 2yrs that I totally believe. Because she's talked like an adult since then. I've gotten better about questioning her parents and finding out the real truth. At 2yrs she told me a "strange man picked her up on a cruise and bit her." I was a bit enraged until my son told me the truth (a man offered to hold her while her father fixed the stroller. No one bit her). I'm telling you, she's crazy.

Yep! Many don't know that Greenville is famous for their hot tamales. There's even a festival. The late writer (yeah, a liberal woman) was from there and I do like her books about the Delta.

I had a chance to see BB King at a little dive there in HS. Told the guy no. Mainly because I didn't know him and also, sadly, was not into BB King. Plus my parents would not have let me go that far anyway. I wish I had now.

I love the blues, thanks to my NY husband guitarist (hobby, not a pro). My favorite song is this one by Alvin Lee that I heard with him. Love that so many Brits like Eric Clapton came to the MS Delta to learn the blues.

I love the melody and lyrics of this song...thankfully never had to feel these blues personally. Well, the first time my bf/husband broke up with me in college for no reason I was blue. The second time I was irritated. The third time I was whatever. He learned a lesson, however. What a Moron!

This crazy girl of ours looks like me, too, bless her heart. She has blue eyes to my green, otherwise you can tell she's mine...but 1000x smarter and prettier and athletic and competative. Look out world in 10yrs! Her poor parents deserve pity for what is ahead.

My plan, which I adhered to strictly, was not to plan this day but just wander around. Found an amazing place selling restored old gasoline pumps and soda bottle dispensers. They were beautiful.

It's definitely another universe of poverty and soul food and good people. I only rode through once on a very bad Greyhound bus nightmare (with a hangover) from that fateful Memphis trip.

Nice! I have a couple of walls of them, plus others here & there. They were affordable, even back when I had crappy, low-pay jobs. They have held up well over decades of use. The trick is to *not disassemble* when moving-- just take the shelf boards out to reduce weight. The cheapo plastic support clips sometimes get lost or broken, but I found sturdy replacements at Hdepot.

Good luck with that:

Viewpoint Discrimination: The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the government (federal, state, or local) cannot restrict speech simply because it disagrees with the message or finds it offensive. Favoring one political opinion while restricting another is known as "viewpoint discrimination," which is considered an "egregious" violation of the First Amendment.

Don't know the health problems but pray they will improve.

Regarding the job: I pray one you never dreamed of will happen. I was laid off as a RN abruptly from a neonatologist office (so were MD's and ARNP's due to a financial gamble the lead doc made). The beetch director of the L&D and nursery only gave me an option of 11-7 shifts, knowing I had young boys and my husband traveled a lot. I said no and collected unemployment, which I never dreamed of doing.

We'd just signed a contract to build a house. I tried everything and just finally said to heck with it. That summer I played with our sons at the beach and taught myself to watercolor. I ended up with a not great job for 9mo, then a great job I'd applied for (a shot in the dark) came my way. To teach as a clinical adjuct professor of a RN program at the med center. This then led to other jobs in case management. And the momentum kept growing from there, with two jobs created for me.

I consider the layoff now to be a blessing. It will happen for you, too. Never give up.

It was those plastic ones that had that springy part that pops out after you drop the shelf in and locks the shelf down, and to get the shelf out you have to push the plastic thing in enough to lift the self out, but you have to do both front and back clip almost together. People get impatient and sometimes break the damn things. The shelves are cut a tad shorter to fit in between the clips, so unless you use that type again the shelf can slide back and forth.

Thats good because the shelves are cut to fit the box, not the clips. Those metal pins I was talking about are great for that. They look like a steel pin that somebody hammered one end almost flat. The flat part is under the shelf. Stick the round end in holes and you're done. You'll never break them. I found nice ones at home depot that I used when I built the book cases from hell in the old house. They were gold in color which looked good against the cherry color or the wood. They didn't cost much at all. Are yours the kind with the smaller 1/8" pin?

Maybe whatever passes for an impeller bearing fianlly wore out, allowing the impeller to contact the housing. In air, the drag is not too bad and the motor can overcome it and start; in water, the load is enough, combined with the impeller drag, to stall the motor.

357 Worn parts somewhere, right? I dunno much about pumps & motors, other than how to remove and replace. Would like to learn how to rebuild, but nobody nearby to teach me. Too bad older bro is such a prick, he knows those things...

Posted by: JQ at January 22, 2026 01:32 AM (rdVOm)

I took it apart and the damn thing looked almost mint. There was a little wobble in the shaft which tells me the bearing isn't good, and there is a seal, and seals don't work good on shafts with play. The bearings are cooled by the water, and the armature is in a stainless steel tube that sits inside the field coils, so it appears to be brushless. They aren't worth rebuilding because the assholes want stoooopid money for the parts. the start up capacitor? A stupid 250 volt 5mf cap, maybe $5-10 the most if I wanted it for a guitar amp. From the pump company..$80. The cartridge is replaceable, and they want $130 for it. The entire pump new was $175.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 22, 2026 01:37 AM (8zz6B)

The impeller wasn't contacting the housing, but, with the motor section standing up on on its back there is definitely some drag when you spin it. There is also an easy 1/8" front to back play on the shaft. I think the water pressure was probably pushing the shaft back into the motor where there is resistance. It definitely has to have a worn bushing. Plus I think with the bushing being worn that seal was probably letting water into that sealed area. The pump maker says the pump can be installed with the motor upright, but not with the motor hanging, so that tells me drag is a concern, and when this sucker is standing on its back there is some drag which the pressure amplified with the bushing being smoked. Mine is installed horizontally as it should be.

There's a new comedy on Fox about a big city doctor who faints at the sight of blood so relocates to a small town, Doctor Best. I thought it might be funny but no. He's an asshole brilliant doctor (and we haven't seen enough of those!) who first meets an outgoing (read asshole) AWFL Karen who, no doubt, will be his love interest, an interracial gay couple, another interracial hetero couple, the wife being adventurously adulterous, and a screwball secretary.

22 Man, that photo reminds me of Nicholas Nickleby, the Dickens book about an kid sent to a boarding school in Yorkshire. It's a very good book.

The preface, Dickens talks about meeting a farmer in Yorkshire while doing research, and he says: [my comments]
“Weel, Misther, we’ve been vara pleasant toogather, and ar’ll spak’ my moind tiv’ee. Dinnot let the weedur [widow] send her lattle boy to yan o’ our school-measthers, while there’s a harse to hoold in a’ Lunnun, or a gootther to lie asleep in. Ar wouldn’t mak’ ill words amang my neeburs, and ar speak tiv’ee quiet loike. But I’m dom’d if ar can gang to bed and not tellee, for weedur’s sak’, to keep the lattle boy from a’ sike scoondrels while there’s a harse to hoold in a’ Lunnun, or a gootther to lie asleep in!

Oh no! That’s a complete clone of a BBC series about 10 years ago, Doc Martin. Pathetic.
Doc Martin was amusing because at least it was filmed in Cornwall, and there were a lot of humorous local characters that played off him.

"Apple is not relocating its headquarters from Cupertino, California, to Texas.Apple's headquarters remains in Cupertino, as confirmed by official announcements and its ongoing operations there. Recent news from Apple's own press releases (e.g., in 2025) lists announcements as coming from Cupertino, California, and describes expansions elsewhere without any mention of moving the core HQ.

Apple has significantly expanded in Texas, particularly in Austin (where it has a major campus with over 13,000 employees as of recent updates, including ongoing construction and a second campus) and Houston (a new 250,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility for AI servers set to open in 2026 as part of a massive $500–600 billion U.S. investment commitment)."

Back in the early '60s, a guy had his nuts ripped off by a PTO shaft. He stepped over one and it caught his pants. Shields were not mandatory back then.

My father used that as a cautionary tale to me as a kid to be careful.

High number of new trolls hitting. I saw this shit all the time when I worked on zoning issues, memaw and papaw want to sell out of Meglamart for handfuls of cash but have to get their property rezoned from residential to commercial for the sale to go through. In most cases, it would dump on their former neighbors in light, noise, and car exhaust for a stop n go or worse.

People have a right to sell property but that does not mean that they have the legal or moral right to get whatever price they want from their property nor force changes in existing law to do it. Never has been true generally and why zoning got instituted at the beginning of the 20th century.

Basically zoning codified centuries of common law that you cannot use your property to the extent that it damages your neighbors.

Our Constitution was founded on negative rights to be left alone but once one engages in commerce, then it can and has been regulated since colonial times for the common benefit.

156 I recall thinking that the historical reaction to Rodrigo Borgia / Alexander VI was unbalanced; sure he was naughty, although sounds mainly like a few poisonings, a whole lot of sex, and the usual Italian corruption (although he was Spanish). For that he was condemned by his successor Julius II.

Julius, a “good” pope who proclaimed his purity and honesty, spent most of his effort putting together an army which he led himself against the other powers, which iirc resulted in the deaths of at least 12,000 of his countrymen. But he was Holy, he said so himself.

I played 12 years of football and even more years of baseball, and I have three prominent scars that ALL came while pole vaulting during my 8th grade year.

Two ripped open wounds in my legs from the sharp track cleats during a jump (one ascending, one descending), and one busted open my chin from coming down hard on the metal crossbar after clearing it my a couple of feet. There were a couple of times I came down from 10-11' without hitting the cushioned pit -- once on the cement upon which a standard was sitting.

Back in the days when we didn't even slap a hot iron on the bleeding ... let alone clean the wound or get stitches.

Riparian damage from construction, destruction of border trees, escaping cows, illegal hunting or fishing, the list goes on. So yes, if you ever read old court cases, much of it was about property including border disputes.

And in cities, they did such things as tight regulations to prevent fires, quarantines locking you in your own house during epidemics, etc.

The only reason that the frontier did not have as much was not due to existing laws but lack of people to actually enforce them. Still true today, assholes in the country dump trash on neighbor's land, burn tires, let their livestock run loose from shoddy fencing, and so on.

They even conscripted men to work on public roads, sewers, etc. as a public duty as well as requiring service in militias, etc.

It just could not enforce such during the war. Same thing for its presidency. State's rights was largely like it is today for places like MN, an excuse to ignore federal law contrary to what it wants.

215 One of the reasons that people have a distorted view of the law in colonial era and for the first hundred years of the US is that most of the states and federal government ran on common law until eventually codification efforts began about the Civil War era. So if you look for old laws for a lot of issues, you won't find them unless you dig out musty old ordinance books from localities, old law reports and the scarce few legal treatises, and so on. Some of the best colonial sources of US law are actually in the UK as the Board of Trade and King had the right to quash them so colonial officials of the crown had to submit all kinds of reports to the king.

Things are easier now but fewer people ever cared enough to look at such matters.

217 214 You shouldn't be a nuisance to your neighbor by doing stupid shit with your own property. You should also remember that nagging your neighbor about trivial shit they did on their property as if it were a serious nuisance to you, is, in itself, being a nuisance to your neighbor and thus violates Rule #1.

In some societies, the majority of people are adult human mammals who instinctually realize this fact and don't need to resort to labyrinthine regulations to account for every conceivable instance of communal jackassery that could ever happen.

Other societies need HOAs.

Disputes regarding property and its uses will go on forever and ultimately courts and the state leg will decide if you make enough of a nuisance of yourself or your neighbor does. And when they get involved, both sides or society itself are usually unhappy to some degree.

My dissertation was on another area of law altogether, criminal law actually.

A history of one of the original colony's Bill of Rights. To do it right, had to spend about three years researching old law from ancient England back to the Magna Carta and before, canon law, Judaic law (reading the Babylonian Talmud slowly), and colonial law from about 2016-2020. Then Covid hit and my health went to shit and was trying to keep teaching despite mounting physical problems. Couldn't fit in the research among doctor visits and teaching.

After my back surgery coming up, I am going to revisit my work and try to push through and finish. Lots of footnotes along the way. I would actually teach ancient laws now and again upon demand dating back to the origins of canon law, Mosaic law, and items like the Code of Hammurabi. I also used to teach Comparative law which is simply Roman law cubed and squared in most of the Western World that does not speak English.

Chinese and Islamic law I know slightly as an outsider not speaking Chinese or Arabic.

The Jerusalem Talmud is interesting as it focuses more on agrarian issues but the Babylonian is the mainstream of talmudic thought. Mosaic law in the Bible has to be filtered through the lived experiences and rise of rabbinical Judaism in the absence of a central priesthood. Fascinating stuff and you can see where the Judaic influence mingled with Roman law to create canon law which then begat civil law for most of Europe.

I can literally lose myself for hours reading and cross checking references in such matters.

Islamic law is like trying to nail jello to the wall depending on which of the four major schools you favor. I 've read some Ottoman law, primarily on the treatment of minorities and some current Islamic treatises but you really have to speak the language to know much about what is going on there. Ditto in spades for China where you have communism overlaid over older Confucianism and Empire law.

By more fully understanding the roots of something like two witnesses std (Mosaic law) which then was adopted as a standard for treason by the US, the distinction of twelve jurors relating back to the twelve tribes, and so on. I found myself going back and forth to the black letter law in the Bible but then the understandings by the rabbis in the Talmuds or even the Essenes in the Dead Sea Scrolls that can explain how these came about.

279 I recall reading that the use of juries to decide guilt grew out of the traditions of the Saxons and other Germanic tribes. They may have been considered barbarians, but they believed that no one man should have the power to decide guilt or punishment, instead insisting on a judgment by his peers.

281 Detectives' Endowment Association
@NYCPDDEA
Last week, two NYPD Detectives were mistreated while seeking medical attention at NYU Langone – Cobble Hill Emergency Room after being injured on duty during the arrest of a violent perpetrator. Upon arrival, they were met with rudeness, disrespect, and a lack of basic professional courtesy by hospital administrators.

It is an outrage that any NYPD Detective injured in the line of duty should have to worry about being treated at any hospital in the city they protect. As nurses across the city strike over issues like workplace safety, treating Detectives poorly is not how to make hospitals safer.

No one—especially Detectives injured in the line of duty—should face such treatment. The DEA is investigating this matter and will pursue all available remedies to ensure our members are treated with the dignity and respect they have earned.

People who dislike Trump, even if it's only personally and they generally agree with his policies, consistently misunderstand him because, in their mind, he's an ass, being an ass. It's never that he's got a goal in mind and he's trying to reach it.

310 I'll put this here, and it can be willowed in 2 minutes:
It says ICE agents are allowed to forcibly enter a person’s home using an administrative warrant if a judge has issued a “final order of removal.” Administrative warrants permit officers and agents to make arrests and are different from judicial warrants, which judges or magistrates sign allowing entry into homes.

Lyons notes in the document that detaining people “in their residences” based solely on administrative warrants is a change from past procedures.

“Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose,” the memo reads.

The memo says agents may “arrest and detain aliens” in their places of residence who are subject to final orders of removal issued by immigration judges, the Board of Immigration Appeals, or U.S. district or magistrate judges.

Quick Hits

Trump: I signed a bill to begin funding insane asylums again.

Trump also signed an EO blocking big investment companies from buying up single family homes.

Both American mega-corporations like Black Rock and Vanguard and foreign corporations, especially Chinese, have bought up many tens of thousands of homes and properties in the USA between them. These monopolistic efforts exacerbated an already difficult housing market.

In his Tuesday executive order, Trump blamed Wall Street investors for "crowding out families seeking to buy homes." He accused:


Hardworking young families cannot effectively compete for starter homes with Wall Street firms and their vast resources. Neighborhoods and communities once controlled by middle-class American families are now run by faraway corporate interests. People live in homes, not corporations. My Administration will take decisive action to stop Wall Street from treating America's neighborhoods like a trading floor and empower American families to own their homes.

To preserve the supply of single-family homes for American families and increase the paths to homeownership, it is the policy of my Administration that large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.

Therefore, Trump requires Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy Kevin Hassett to come up with definitions of "large institutional investor" and "single-family home" within the next 30 days in order to ensure the executive order is implemented.

Commentary: Trump Truth Social Posts On X
@TrumpTruthOnX

Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations -- They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

(TS: 21 Jan 14:27 ET)​​​‍​​‌‍​​‌‍​​​​​​‌‍​​​​​​​​​​‌‍​​​​‌‍​​​​​‌‍​​​​​​​​‌‍​​​​‌‍​​​​​‌‍​​​​‌‍​​​​‌‍​​​​​​‌‍​​​​​​‌‍​​​​​​​​‌‍​​​​​​​​​​‌‍​​​‌‍​​​​​​​​‌‍

People have speculated that this deal could cost us $700 billion, which, in terms you can understand, is equal to eight Somali day care centers.

But that's a lot of money for a rock covered in snow and Eskimos.

Vodkapundit: Never forget the Obamas' corruption.

One of Barack Obama's pet projects was a little something called Net Neutrality, and when Trump ended it early during his first term, it literally murdered everybody who had miraculously survived his tax cuts.

But the point is that, starting with House of Cards, a little non-black-owned firm called Netflix was poised for explosive growth. Without going too deep into the woods on an old issue, from 2013 (House of Cards launch) to 2015, the 11--15% of Americans streaming Netflix sucked down 30--37% of peak-hour bandwidth -- while paying the same flat rate as everyone else.

One solution might be that internet service providers (ISPs) could charge Netflix extra during peak hours. I like that solution, because it incentivizes ISPs to build more bandwidth. Netflix could either eat the charges or pass it along to their customers who were using all that bandwidth. Or ISPs could throttle Netflix's streaming quality -- and here's where things got tricky -- without throttling the quality of the streamers they operated, like Comcast-owned NBCUniversal.

...

However, Netflix founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings -- a big-money Obama donor and frequent White House visitor -- continued his extremely vocal support for Net Neutrality, which eventually forbid deals like that one. "Bits are bits," and under Net Neutrality, ISPs couldn't charge more for this bit (Netflix's) than they did for that bit (Nana's latest LOLcat post on Facebook). Even though Netflix was using trillions more bits.

...

[O]bama remained a yuge proponent of Net Neutrality going into his second term, railing against "gatekeepers deciding which sites you get to access." But it was never about Comcast blocking you from visiting VeryNaughtySite.com. It was about Netflix and Netflix subscribers getting a free ride -- and how to locate the grift.

...

In 2018, safely out of office, the Obamas landed a multi-year Netflix production deal reportedly worth at least $50 million (according to various sources like the New York Post), through Higher Ground Productions, churning out award bait nobody streams.

This was one of the most visible examples of post-office windfall politics in modern history, and hardly anyone blinked.

I mean, look at the virtually unwatched content Higher Ground Productions made:

American Factory (2019 Oscar-winning documentary)
Crip Camp (2020 Oscar nominee)
Becoming (2020 Michelle Obama documentary)
Exit West (upcoming scripted series)
Rustin (2023 film on civil rights leader Bayard Rustin)
Leave the World Behind (2023 apocalyptic thriller)

If you hadn't heard of those, you aren't alone -- neither had I, and I'm paid to follow this stuff. But the Obamas certainly took home enough Netflix money to "buy everyone."

Yes, you feel you were born in the wrong body. That would be horrifying. But I think a LOT of the mental trauma is hating their bodies and the biology they were born with. Not loving themselves, warts and all. You were born this way! Embrace it. They fight so hard to hate the one part of themselves they can't, their chromosomes. It's heartbreaking to see the struggle. And instead of helping them love themselves as they are, they seek out doctors and therapists that feed into the self hatred for money. I feel like it's malpractice.

145 Trump unleashes ICE on Somalis in Maine as agents go door-to-door in huge roundup: 'Operation Catch of the Day'. When are we going to have the courage to rise up in resistance like Minnesota?!

Do not sell out your hard earned Liberty in the name of rounding up criminals. Your rights as an American are being infringed. If you're not on r/minnesota get on it

These names they give these operations aren’t funny and are deeply inhumane. These are people for God’s sake.

The idea that this regime is using criminal history in any way shape or form as a justification for deportation is completely asinine. Anyone with a “criminal history” has paid their debt to society in accordance with the law. The matter is over.

Take photos. Save them. Despite this horrific, disgusting, and disgraceful period, the Nuremberg trials are a part of history that we will see repeated.

They're all fucking proud boys, the masks are at least as much to protect the Trump admin for hiring all this scum as it is to protect the scum from prosecution in the future.

I have a feeling her daughter that did the Weinstein internship was treated with kid gloves and not abused. But she purposely change her name for film projects to NOT be attached with her parents and find her own way. Maybe mom is upset about that and thinks her ungrateful.

yet somehow they have an airport in Nuuk that has three good sized planes and one really big plane, and other aircraft come and go.

My home town serves about 55,000 and we are barely supporting one flight a day to St. Louis, and maybe Chicago, idk. And Greenland has cruise ships, we don't get any of those.

But yes, Greenlanders would be better off under the USA umbrella. If the cost was really $700B, that is like $10M per Greenlander. Better than the $46K Denmark was promising for covertly sterilizing their children.

239 "But that's a lot of money for a rock covered in snow and Eskimos."

Not sure why I have to say this, but in February of 2025, Trump said we wanted the Panama Canal back, and might take it by force, etc. etc. Same song and dance. At the end of the day, we settled for an agreement to force out Chinese companies who were managing the canal. Which was the goal the whole time.

This is the same fucking thing. China’s publication of its first white paper on its Arctic Policy in January 2018, identifying itself as a ‘Near-Arctic State’ and with a prominent goal of establishing a Polar Silk Road. Trump is saying "no way."

The deal will be Greenland is open to European and North American investment...and nobody else. Some sort of exclusive 99-year rights agreement. Maybe we pay Greenland a bit of cash to secure exclusive rights.

Trump's big goal is to force China out of the western Hemisphere. All the way out.

241 Really the deep fear here is Ukraine. Ukraine did an operation where they filled shipping containers with drones, and shipped them, through a third country, to cities around Russia. At the right time, the shipping container pooped open, releasing a huge number of drones to destroy refineries and military targets.

The U.S. say this and realized this is exactly the sort of thing Russia or China could do to us. The only solution is to push back the defensive parameter. Push it way back. So far back the drones won't have the juice to reach the U.S. Greenland, the Panama Canal, Venezuela, Cuba - these are all becoming red zones for the U.S. We need to exert some control over that space, so they won't be launching points for this sort of attack.

He's also trying to do this without saying why he is doing it, lest there be fear and panic. Also not to alert the bad guys he's on to the danger.

Put the crazies into the asylum and force them to take their meds. Crazy and on meds, in an asylum setting, means the place won't be nearly as awful. Heck, people can be monitored, even have remote jobs.

Trump Objects to Queer Starmer's Giveway of Critical Chagos Islands

The important Indian Ocean base of Diego Garcia is located at these islands.

President Trump has called the U.K.'s decision to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius -- a deal his administration previously supported -- an act of "great stupidity" that further justified his desire for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. One of the islands, Diego Garcia, is the site of a key U.K.-U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean.

"Shockingly, our 'brilliant' NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER," Mr. Trump said early Tuesday on his own Truth Social platform. "There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before. The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP."

Mr. Trump issued his statement as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson, a Republican, was in the U.K. to address the British parliament, where he told lawmakers the U.S. and U.K. had "always been able to work through our differences calmly as friends. We will continue to do that. I want to assure you this morning that that is still the case."

The Chagos Islands were separated from Mauritius, which was then a British colony, in 1965.

The UK paid Mauritius for the islands, but Mauritius is claiming the deal was unfair.

Queer Starmer claims that Trump reversed his previous OK to pressure the UK over Greenland.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer went after President Trump on Wednesday for reversing position on a deal surrounding the Chagos Islands, suggesting the president did so because of tensions over his plan to acquire Greenland.

"I made out my position on Greenland absolutely clear on Monday and a moment ago. President Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House," Starmer said in the House of Commons.

"He deployed those words yesterday for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland," he added, emphasizing he would not give in.

32 It's worse,
What I have heard (not paying close attention) is that Mauritius was never culturally close to Chagos, and that the Brits moved the Chagosians to Mauritius as required.

This presents two problems.
1. Why give it to Mauritius, as they have nothing to do with that land.
1. Now that there are native Chagoisians identified, and they are not Mauritiusavians, UK law states that they can not "sell" the land to anyone, but instead have to some how repatriate the Chagoisains (I am not really clear on this bit, I just know that the originally planned deal is now considered a violation of UK law.)

Also, it is important to note that
- Mauritius is totally controlled by China
- The deal would give $7.8 trillion dollars to every Mauritiusavian, (or something like that.)
- And absolutely no MP or Lords were paid by CCP to facilitate this nonsense

I think the UK surrender of land to China's vassal keeps a 99 year lease of Diego Garcia.

Except that the next mandatory election isn't for, like, three years and right now Labour is so disliked that none of the MPs will try to get rid of him to save their own position since that wouldn't save it.

39 Diego Garcia is strategically important... but with the advent of aerial refueling and stealth bombers that can fly thousands of miles, is it really necessary?

During the Israel-US - Iran dust up last year we used that base as a distraction. B-2's from Whiteman AFB here in the US were used for that raid. We even moved aircraft off that airbase because Iran had ballistic missile capable of reaching it.

Probably, militarily speaking, not that important anymore.

46 Starmer and Carney both are getting as close to China as possible. The Chinese won't give then any static about human rights, or democracy, and even though they've watched the Chicoms screw people over, they think they are too smart for that.

Starmer is forcing a massive super-embassy on London for the Chinese.

Ice Storms = downed power lines.

It will be interesting to see who has the most juice to attract the line-men who will need to repair all of this.

I was planning on a four day outage, it might be a few weeks. The only hole-card I have is that the property has working oil wells and no power = no $$$. ETX ethos includes bribes.

52 Oh yeah,
"So why are they paying Mauritius and giving it to them?"

Chagos is in the middle on nowhere. The only people there were put there by rubber tree plantation owners or something to tap the trees. (or something. Don't take me seriously as I don't really care enough to remember details.) they were as un-contacted as those guys who throw spears at drones. They all died of the common cold when outsiders showed up.

But, Mauritius is the nearest land so they figure to give it to them. It would be like finding Fiji, and handing it to Hawaii, and paying them quadrillions for the favor.

59 UK paid Mauritius for the islands. But let's just say their ownership of the island was always highly questionable. Mauritius has an extremely weak claim to the island at all.

NOBODY lived on the island before the Europeans arrived. How do you think it got the name Diego Garcia? The French settled it in 1778, and the French Governor of Mauritius granted Monsieur Dupuit de la Faye the island of Diego Garcia. They abandoned it, and it was settled by the British. The British settlement failed, and the French took over turning it into a leper colony. Britian won it back during the Napoleonic wars. 1814 to 1965 Great Briton administered it as part of Mauritius. To settle any dispute, the UK purchased the Chagos Archipelago, which includes Diego Garcia, from the then self-governing colony of Mauritius for £3 million.

The island was never inhabited or colonized by Mauritius. It was only nominally part of their territory when Britian ruled Mauritius.

Victoria had to play some crazy 3D chess, and give a title to some guy's wife, to get Lord M to stay on as her chosen Prime Minister.

During the Israel-US - Iran dust up last year we used that base as a distraction. B-2's from Whiteman AFB here in the US were used for that raid. We even moved aircraft off that airbase because Iran had ballistic missile capable of reaching it.

Probably, militarily speaking, not that important anymore.

But the queen was played by Helen Mirren and she was as glorious in the play as she was in the movie The Queen.

But it makes me wonder, what on earth do Starmer and King Charles even talk about every week?

"What Ho, your majesty! Jolly good show, letting the fate of your people disintegrate while you focus on climate change."

China has decided that- "War Is For Suckaz"(TM).

They have been able to achieve almost everything they want with bribes to those in power in gov't and industry.

At one time the British Administration treated them as an entity (BIOT). That is the claim. Because the colonial British Empire clumped them all together to make it easier on some clerk in Old Blighty, some jumped up clown who stole/bought enough votes on an island a 1000 miles away should determine the fate of strategic US base.

For that matter, it was never inhabited by anyone before the Europeans came along. Neither was Mauritius. The only victim of the "colonization" of Mauritius was the dodo (turns out that mixing hungry sailors with tasty, turkey-sized flightless pigeons with no inborn fear of humans doesn't work out well for the birds).

One could make some argument for handing over Mauritius to the descendants of the slaves who had been imported there (by France, not Britain), but no such argument applies to Diego Garcia. The French didn't even use it as a slave plantation. Unlike Mauritius, Diego Garcia is not suited for agriculture. The French mostly used it as a dumping ground for lepers.

CNN Sissy Accuses Trump of Being "Provably" Part of "Global Sex Trafficking Ring," and Liberal Host Wants to Let the Defamation Stand With No Pushback

It falls to Scott Jennings to object, and to press the leftwing host to even address the major, serious, no-defense-possible defamation that just occurred.

First the host pushes back against Jennings, saying "I'll do the fact-checking here," except he didn't do it and clearly doesn't want to do it. Ultimately Jennings moggs him into offering the weakest possible "Trump hasn't been charged with crimes" fact check, but Berman would have let the defamation stand completely unchecked if not for Jennings' demand.

Trump is going to sue CNN, and they'll have to settle, because there is just no defense here. The clown made a false factual statement, not an opinion, and emphasized that he was speaking about what he was claiming was a proven fact by adding the word "provably."

And yes, CNN is liable for defamation that one of its panelists speaks on its platform.

Overton
@overton_news

A smug 25-year-old leftist activist just got HUMBLED live on CNN by Scott Jennings.

Cameron Kasky claimed President Trump was part of a "human sex-trafficking network" -- and for a moment, the panel let it slide.

Until @ScottJenningsKY stepped in and FORCED the host John Berman to correct the record for all to hear.

KASKY: "So I am appreciative that the president is being transparent about this. I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex-trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win them all."

BERMAN: "Cameron's grateful that the president is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland. Scott, what do you think about that?"

JENNINGS: "You're going to let that sit? Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring, or...?"

BERMAN: "We're going to talk about the Epstein files. Scott... I will do the fact checking as we go along here. Repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring."

KASKY: "That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it."

Berman suddenly realized he was cornered...

And only then did he offer his brief, grudging, weak "fact check."

𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐓 𝐉𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐂𝐊 - 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗖𝗡𝗡'𝗦 𝗔𝗦𝗦

⁣⁣⁣A smug, barely-out-of-college leftist activist wandered onto CNN and accused a sitting president of running a global human sx-trafficking ring -- 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

⁣⁣⁣And for a moment?

⁣⁣⁣CNN just let it sit there. You could almost imagine Trump picking up the phone to his lawyers.

⁣⁣⁣Until Scott Jennings -- 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 -- slammed the brakes and reminded the room that 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

⁣⁣⁣Here's how it went down.

⁣⁣⁣𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘯 𝘒𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘺:

⁣⁣⁣The moderator tried to pivot.
Tried to move on.
Tried to memory-hole it.

⁣⁣⁣That's when Jennings stepped in.

⁣⁣⁣𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘵 𝘑𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴:
𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘵? 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘕𝘕 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘹 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨?

⁣⁣⁣You could feel the panic.

⁣⁣⁣Because that's not commentary.
That's not opinion.
That's a 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 waiting to explode.

⁣⁣⁣Suddenly the host realized he was boxed in.

⁣⁣⁣𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯 𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯:
𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘥 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘑𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘺 𝘌𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯.

⁣⁣⁣If Scott Jennings hadn't stepped in, that clip would already be Exhibit A in a courtroom.

⁣⁣⁣This is what happens when activism cosplay replaces journalism.

⁣⁣⁣This is why adults still need to be in the room.

⁣⁣⁣And this is why "𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬" is not a journalism standard.

The little dicksucker apparently was advised by a lawyer to apologize, but he must think he's too broke-ass to sue, because his "apology" sounds like a sarcastic restatement of the original defamation:

Cameron Kasky
@camkasky

46 If Trump sues and wins, which I think he probably would, that would make something like 5 successful lawsuits against media and tech companies, all settled for more than $10M, some much more.

Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion for deceptively editing his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, to make it appear he told his supporters to storm the Capitol.

Oh no! He needs to stay in media, jump from CNN to hosting his own show somewhere. If the media realizes they need to pivot to the center, and hire him as a center-right draw. OR if Elon buys a network, or Trump does after his run as POTUS.

He's great now. But the swamp is SO good at corrupting even the most valiant of our warriors. I don't know what the swamp would do to Scott Jennings, tbh.

Watch them, this is a line coming from Nick Fuentes and associated crew to dirty Mossad and Israel with Epstein. Coordinated op to hide Democrat complicity.

Have them read the old depositions given in the Epstein Miami trial in the 00's. Those are all public and give a sense of that time and place when Epstein operated out of Miami and Trump had Mar A Lago.

After that, it is clear that Trump had nothing to do with Epstein and in fact his own DoJ charged Epstein and Ghislaine.

Goldman Sachs is faced with the embarrassing fact that their Obama admin lawyer, Katherine Ruemmler, exchanged lots of emails with Ghislaine and Epstein after his conviction in 2008. To the point that the firm may fire her for it.

98 There's a left-wing bot operation all over social media pushing the narrative of a nefarious connection between Trump and Epstein.

It started after Trump's stupid 180 degree turn on releasing Epstein files after a visit by Bibi, after having campaigned on total transparency on everything. That led to the ill-advised push for congressional legislation forcing the disclosure.

The president needn't have folded to Bibi on this. One can be certain there is nothing in the files that would lead to the Mossad or the CIA. The FBI would never document such a thing and prosecutor Alex Acosta was told to back away from any intelligence connection many years ago.

We don't know who has custody of the kompromat video recordings of many of America's elite cavorting with underage girls, but we can be certain the answer is not in FBI files.

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar have both had to issue multiple on-air apologies during their time on The View, re: their comments that occasionally resulted in significant media controversy and, in Goldberg's case, a suspension. Both were forced to apologize for remarks deemed "wrong and hurtful."

MSNBC - Lawrence O'Donnell, Nicolle Wallace, Stephanie Ruhle (more than 1X) and Ali Velshi.

CNN - Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris; Manu Raju and Jeremy Herb; Erin Burnett, Christian Amanpour
-----
In 2025 apologies or retractions were made for implying or stating that Donald Trump was involved in a sexual misconduct or sex trafficking ring by James Carville & The Daily Beast.

>Democratic strategist James Carville apologized and removed a podcast episode and video that suggested a connection between Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald Trump. The apology followed a letter from Melania Trump’s legal team regarding the "false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements."

>The Daily Beast apologized & retracted an article that suggested Melania Trump met her husband through an Epstein connection.

Justice D E-I Cites "Black Codes" Which Stripped Post-Civil-War Blacks of Right to Bear Arms As Good Law In Order to Justify Endless Gun Control

Justice D-EI is making it as hard as possible for other DEI judges to ever get confirmed.

What were the Black Codes? They were post-Civil-War state laws enacted by the defeated Confederacy in spite.

They were almost immediately declared unconstitutional.

The Black Codes were a series of racially discriminatory laws enacted by Southern states immediately after the Civil War (primarily in 1865--1866) to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly emancipated African Americans (freedmen) and maintain white supremacy, often as a continuation of pre-war slave codes.

These laws frequently included provisions that severely restricted or outright prohibited Black people from owning, possessing, or carrying firearms (and often other weapons like Bowie knives or dirks). The intent was to disarm freed Black individuals, leaving them vulnerable to violence from white supremacists, including groups like the Ku Klux Klan, while preventing any potential armed resistance or self-defense against oppression.

Key examples from prominent Black Codes include:

Mississippi Black Codes (1865) -- One of the earliest and most explicit. In "An Act to punish certain offenses therein named, and for other purposes" (often part of the Penal Code section), it stated:

No freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry fire-arms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie knife...

Violations resulted in fines (up to $10), costs, forfeiture of the weapons/ammunition, and potential arrest by any civil or military officer. A license from a local police board was required, which was discretionary and rarely granted to Black individuals. Whites faced no such requirement.

South Carolina Black Codes (1865) -- Similar restrictions applied, stating that persons of color could not keep a firearm, sword, or other military weapon without written permission from a district judge or magistrate.

Louisiana (1865) -- Laws required consent before bringing firearms onto another's property, explicitly aimed at freedmen to disarm them.

Other Southern states adopted comparable measures, often requiring licenses (discretionary and biased against Black applicants) or imposing total bans on Black firearm possession unless in military service. These were not race-neutral; contemporary accounts and later analyses confirm they targeted freed Black people to prevent self-defense and enable terrorization.These disarmament provisions were short-lived in their original form -- many Black Codes were repealed or overridden by Reconstruction-era federal actions, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Freedmen's Bureau Act, and the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified 186, which aimed to protect freedmen's rights, including to bear arms against discriminatory state restrictions.The Black Codes' gun restrictions are widely recognized by historians and legal scholars as part of a broader pattern of racist gun control in U.S. history, designed to deny Black people the means of self-protection.

Justice D E-I needed some kind of precedent to "prove" her argument that the Constitution allows governments to strip citizens of their right to bear arms as it pleases. She wants to uphold a Hawaiian law that strips citizens of their Second Amendment rights.

So this genius decided to cite the Black Codes as good law which should control in gun control cases.

Specifically, the Bruen ruling says that we should look at the history and tradition of the Second Amendment in the US to determine if a new gun control law is constitutional.

She decides that the Black Codes are part of that tradition -- even though they were ruled unconstitutional days after they were passed. She says they were on the books for a couple of weeks (before being repealed or ruled unconstitutional), so why shouldn't we take them as good constitutional law? After all, this MacArthur Genius Grant candidate reasons, they were only ruled unconstitutional later, after they were passed.

Note to Justice D E-I: All laws ruled unconstituional are so ruled later, after they're passed. You can't rule on a law before it's passed. Not only is that nonsensical Because of How Time Works, but the Supreme Court actually forbids what it calls "advisory opinions," or opinions of the Court about whether a law would be constitutional, if it were passed. The Court ruled that only actual "cases and controversies" -- real cases -- could be adjudicated by the court, and never any future hypothetical ones. The Constitution just doesn't allow for that.


But sure she's qualified like the Wise Latina is.



Impeach her. She's incompetent, unqualified, anti-American and tyrannical.

32 Stocks surged upward in the afternoon from earlier, smaller gains after Trump posted to Truth Social saying that he and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had reached a framework for a deal on Greenland and the surrounding Arctic region.

The post comes after Trump struck a less aggressive tone on Greenland in his keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, calling for "immediate negotiations" and saying that the US wouldn't use force to gain control of the Danish territory.

Because, it argued, the Braun test, historical precedent in existence at the time of the Founding, is unworkable--according to several judges who are writing opinions trying to reverse Braun.

The argument is, if I can understand it, is that we just can't know what laws are the laws we're supposed to rely upon as parallels.
Basically, deliberately confusing the issue since there were so few restrictions--but we must have restrictions!

And Stupid Jackson is, poorly, trying to echo that, she's citing these laws, trying to make is seem like the historical laws that Braun referred to, can and must include ... laws passed decades to centuries later!

Her basic premise is off - once something is ruled unconstitutional it is considered unconstitutional for all time, including the time when it was considered constitutional. It is fully retroactive. A judge would never, ever say "well it once was unconstitutional, now it isn't." Nope once ruled constitutional, always unconstitutional. That is how the law works. Unless that ruling is overturned, there is nothing to discuss.

109 I just...get tired of the impeachment talk. It's everywhere about everything, and no one ever addresses the second half: the Senate trial.

If you have no chance of winning at the Senate trial, then don't do the impeachment. It ultimately just strengthens the impeached individual politically.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Used strategically, impeachment is like a supercharged investigation vehicle (due to Scotus precedents) of the executive branch. Like how Parliament originally used the impeachment, it is best directed at government ministers and judges rather than Presidents or VPs.

But Congress nowadays is probably unable to function legislatively except when absolutely required like some sort of continuing resolution on spending and some rare oddball bipartisan bills.

It has taken itself out of the game intentionally so as to better feed their grift.

Well, that's pretty weak.

1) Rulings should not be forward-looking. And I don't think there's any opinions from those two that say, "we don't think this is Constitutional but we're going to have to leave it 'cause it'll cause problems."
2) That doesn't address the Constitutional issue, that the Fed's "independence" has no place under our Constitutional order of each branch having political accountability.
3) If I want to wishcast, it's those two are probing the future dissent argument, that those, exposing that future concerns are not a basis for finding constitutionalality.

We are not the same people nor culture that created the Constitution and using Scotus and the judiciary as a continuing Constitutional Convention was a horrible idea.

My sad conclusion is that sooner or later the system will fail and we will get some sort of despot, king, or worse, a corrupt aristocracy that sells out the country to the point where the system ends in catastrophe or tear itself apart in a civil war.

There will be some sort of America with people in it but what that will look like depends on just exactly how the Republic fails.

Anything about the Fed is obiter dictum. Basically when allowing firings at the NLRB or other bodies, the Court, by rejecting the injunctions already indicate that the executive is likely to prevail for the injunctions to be dissolved.

Retaining the injunction preventing Cook (or Powell if it comes to it) from being removed for cause means simply that the district court has to develop a fact pattern at trial as to what is cause. That requires a judicial opinion as to what statutory language 'cause' means (which the higher court has no requirement to follow) in the Federal Reserve Act, etc.

187 The "I don't understand" gambit is old stale passive aggressive shit...

The implication is intended to be "I don't understand because your argument doesn't make sense." The correct response (which, no, I wouldn't make to a SCOTUS Justice to her face) is "You don't understand because you don't want to." Or maybe, depending on circumstances "You don't understand because you're a friggin' idiot."

I think any Democrat president in the future is simply going to expand on what Biden did on student loans. I don't think Scotus judges, aside from maybe Alito or Thomas, actually know what time it is for the American Republic.

We will have a massive constitutional crisis coming soon, and the Gordian knot is likely to be cut, perhaps in a way we like, perhaps not.

But the old uniparty status quo is simply failing in the US and across the West where the elites believe that they have the right to rule over the masses regardless of what institutions interfere with that. We shall see what the masses do in response. Tears and blood might very well be involved.

1. Who says it's delayed?

2. It's probably a highly technical opinion about tariff authority under different sections that got narrower and narrower as they debated it.

3. It'll probably end up as "Trump has the authority to do it in general, but the lower courts didn't take the individual tariffs on merits, choosing to use a blanket ban instead. Lower courts, redo your ruling based on actual analysis of each proclamation and tariff."

And then Trump will just reimpose every tariff under a different authority, and it won't matter.

There is also the standing issue. In many of the cases of levied tariffs, the other nation and the US came to agreement which makes it difficult for individuals or companies suing to assert standing as international agreements are a separation of powers issue especially when Congress authorizes it vaguely.

This is a very complicated case involving tariffs, presidential powers, delegation, standing, and remedies. Might not get a decision until June at this rate. The longer it goes, the more likely Trump gets a decision he can live with.

Student loans were turbofucked by Obama as part of his first wave of "fuck shit up illegally in ways nobody can ever fix" in 2009. It'a not really a Biden move, specifically.

The biggest issue is counting foreign invaders in the census and giving their kids citizenship, as well as enabling their invasion and refusing to deport them when they get all rapey/murdery. That's not just a constitutional crisis, that's a straight shot to ethnic cleansing and genocide. I have close family friends murdered recently by these invader fucksticks, and friends dead in fed witch hunts, and this shit is getting old.

If it pops off - remember if everyone sweeps their own porch, the whole world will be clean.

341 I am afraid you are only partially correct concerning the history of Black Codes. Northern states, such as Indian And Illinois (among others), had "Black Codes" prior to the Civil War. In fact, The black codes of Illinois were some of the harshest in the country and weren't repealed until the end of the Civil War in 1865.

Slick Bitch Gavin Newsom Has His Davos Speech Cancelled; Whines That Trump Did It
Scott Bessent Cooks Gavin Newsom As Communist Patrick Bateman

More femme than Fidelito.


Gavin Newsom was informed at the 11th hour that his talk with Fortune at USA House in Davos was canceled.

Newsom had been invited to speak on Wednesday at an event sponsored by USA House, which for the first time was recognized by the U.S. government as the country's official headquarters at Davos. But an organizer told his office that they had opted to not include any U.S. officials in the talk focused on CEOs and other business leaders.

In a private exchange of messages obtained by POLITICO, a Newsom administration official accused the USA House of bowing to political pressure from the State Department -- an accusation the organizer denied, while emphasizing the governor was still welcome in the venue -- in a microcosm of the larger geopolitical tensions on display.

Some clips from Davos. Trump cooks the elites, of course.

He blasts Europe for cheerleading the Islamic Reconquest of Europe:

And he blasts them for their cowardice and ingratitude:

He mocked them for buying Chinese windmills, while China invests in real energy production:

Globalist international banker and Liberal Canadian PM Mark Carey declared, mostly correctly, that the "old order" had failed. But he meant that Trump had "ruptured" the old order. By refusing to go along with the post-WWII foreign policy consensus that we cared so much about Europe potentially going communist that we had to give away trillions of dollars to them through unfair trade schemes to boost their economies.

He called for "the middle powers" -- a step down from the Great Powers, a step up from the third world -- to band together to take on the Great Powers. Mostly he means the United States.

He's very butthurt that America is no longer spending trillions to make the world safe and prosperous for Europe and the "Middle Powers" without asking anything in return, but instead now seeks reciprocal advantages.

Trump replied: "Canada lives thanks to the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements."

As I said yesterday, I don't really like Trump's deliberate provocation of allies -- well, ungrateful European welfare states -- until I hear the European response.

Then I get it.

Tangential:

I rewatched The Batman last weekend.

The central plot is about the Riddler exacting justice on the elite of Gotham because they took a billion dollar fund that Thomas Wayne had set up and used it to enrich themselves.

After the uprooting of USAID, I see it more clearly. The expanded spending. The lack of progress and even the drawback of standards of living.

I'm sure Matt Reeves would place the blame on Republicans squarely because Hollywood, but it's still just this cri de coeur about how government became a piggy bank for the connected over the past few decades.

Because the old world order ossified and corrupted to the point where there was no downside to just stealing outright.

39 Willowed, but super important to me:

>>> "I signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We’re going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”

I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.

I mentioned in a book thread a few weeks ago "The Woman they Could Not Silence." Back in the Civil War era, if you were a man, you could get your wife locked away in an asylum for anything. Even just thinking too much. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an asylum by her husband for disagreeing with him on religion and politics. (He was all fire and brimstone, she believed in a more loving God. And he flip flopped to be pro slavery to appeal to rich patrons financing his church, and she was adamantly anti-slavery. Her views caused embarrassment to him in front of his flock, so he got a crooked doctor and a sham trial to get her thrown into an asylum.) Chilling read.

There is corruption and abuse in the mental health and incarceration system already. How do you protect the most vulnerable people who NEED help, when the system is rotten?

50 Newsom is attempting a Clinton-and-Carville-style triangulation strategy. I'm not voting for anyone willing to triangulate with white supremacy and fascism because both test okay with P&G or the Rothschilds.

Democrats deflecting to affordability and then choosing Gavin Newsom, who has colluded with utilities companies in California to fuck up affordability, repeatedly vetoing legislation that would put them in check, and legislation that would protect trans people as well? Fuck that.

He's an amorphous blob that tries to appease whoever is in front of him. This guy stands for nothing.

He won’t even win the primary. It’s hilarious the Right hates him so much, he’s way closer to a Republican than anything progressive. Both sides don’t like him, but the Dem establishment is shoving him down our throats

He is made of the same stuff Trump is. He just has tighter impulse control. He's not the guy to run the US.

Fuck Newsome. He's centre right, hates the homeless and trans people, and loves the rich and won't tax billionaires. I'll vote for him only if he's literally the only non-explixitly-fascist option

So "USA House" is the newly-"official" American globalist hangout in Davos, and they decided to cancel an appearance by Newsom because they changed the theme of the event to "business leaders?" And now Gavin is bitching because he thinks it was political and "USA House" - whatever it is/they are - say it wasn't? Do I have this right?

If I do, why does it matter?

"I signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We’re going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”

I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.

Posted by: LizLem

============

LizLem, I preach about this every chance I get. I'll repeat your 2 points:

1 - The institutions are needed.

2 - It is essential that they be monitored for humane treatment of the mentally ill.

You evidently already know what's up, but if you want the evidence and an incredible history of America's treatment of the mentally ill, read Jonathan Rosen's book, The Best Minds. We have actually done it successfully at times in the past, but somehow the good will or the money runs out.

It again. He was merciful and left out the whole part about how the Danes force sterilized all the young girls in Greenland up until 1991 and sent all the other children for reeducation in Denmark.

This is a prime example - perhaps *the* prime example, in the past century at least - of shooting the messenger.

Trump did no such thing. The Postwar Order had already failed and was in the process of collapsing. It started to crack up when the USSR fell and accelerated hard after 9/11 and the financial crisis. The COVID response was a massive shift out of the "traditional" Postwar Order and Biden's treatment of Russia following the invasion of Ukraine was uncharted territory on the trade/finance side of things.

*Trump* didn't dismantle the old order. The old order fucking collapsed on all on it's own through entropy, apathy, mismanagement, fraud and shifting priorities.

What Trump *did* do was be the first guy to loudly and bluntly say, "this shit is over and we need to figure out what comes next." Trump's policies didn't cause a collapse of the old order, they are a *response* to the old order collapsing.

The zombie alliance, bereft of any rationale for more than a generation. Thus the ridiculous attempts to tweak it (increase your defense spending!) when there is no military rationale or trace of political will. And all this predates and is separate from the mass migration that has made the politics of key members even more problematic on foreign policy.

What he is talking about has a name, and that name is empire. No "customs union" or "alliance" or whatever is going to get a large number of states to work toward a common goal in opposition to a large state. There are too many deals to be made and too much benefit to breaking the pact.

What he's describing *does* happen - in the form of the strongest of the "middle powers" conquering their neighbors and then either joining up or conquering each other. At the other end of that, you have a major empire and a great power. The king is dead, long live the king and whatnot.

Carney in cutting a deal with the Chicoms just entered into a FAFO deal with the FO part yet to come.

They barely did it in 2016 when it was just Hillary and that cook from VT. Their effort to rig it created a superstar in Bernie that they had to cheat out of a win.

And then...in 2020...anyone saying that whole thing was planned for Biden insane.

Now, if you're going to say that the primary will just be canceled and someone selected, we can discuss that. But that's not what you seem to be saying.

194 Rhetoric aside, Trump (and the Beltway) are still stuck in a pre-1991 inertial default mental framework, when it comes to NATO. The zombie alliance, bereft of any rationale for more than a generation. Thus the ridiculous attempts to tweak it (increase your defense spending!) when there is no military rationale or trace of political will.

I suspect, admittedly without evidence, that Trump is aware that NATO is, at best, counter to the US national interest. He cannot, however, unilaterally withdraw us and Congress would never go along. So he tries to give Europe requirements - ones spelled out in the treaty - in the hopes that they will refuse and we can leave.

Vance seems even more anti-NATO.

"Children in designated areas are subject to mandatory daycare for 25–30 hours per week starting at age 1, where they are immersed in “Danish values” such as gender equality and Christian traditions, with no parental accompaniment allowed. This measure does not apply to ethnic Danish families, who retain the right to choose childcare freely, highlighting a two-tier system.

Legal and social integration requirements are also strict. Non-EU immigrants, especially refugees, must sign individual integration contracts requiring Danish language acquisition, employment, and cultural education. Failure to comply can result in loss of benefits or denial of permanent residency. "

When he was ditching CA for TX, Gary from Nerdrotic had an opening video for Friday Night Tights where Newsom was Patrick Bateman, and he was chasing down Gary and his FNT Scooby Gang to prevent them from leaving CA. Had clips from American Psycho with Newsome's face spliced in. It was hilarious and eerily perfect. Video was by Pierry Chan.

Political socialization. Family is the first influence but friends and social group id influences it after adulthood. Ironically, the most politically knowledgeable are the ones most likely to defect from one party to another based on specific policies and issues. So you get someone like David Horowitz raised as a pink diaper baby and early leftist activist becoming hard right.

Some defect for money and fame, often GOPe types--can anyone provide a principled argument like Bill Weld running as Libertarian VP? Snarlin Arlen Spector? Etc.

Hillary's problems in 2016 stem from her being absolutely unlikable by everyone. Without the way being paved for her (and Sanders being bought off) she wouldn't have done as well as she did.

Biden in 2020...got schelacked in Iowa, and beat in NH to the extent that he didn't even show up for the primary. Instead he ran to his savior down in South Carolina (Clyburn) who paved the way in that state and all the big states. Clyburn is one of the kingmakers .

The irony now is that Democrats desperately want that on their side. They want their own Trump to take out the establishment that they see as sell-outs.

Except that the establishment uses the language of the activist base and an outsider who could shake things up on important issues, like immigration, would get destroyed by the very activist base that wants an outsider.

If Bernie ran now and said that Trump was right about immigration, you know, his 2016 stance, the left would turn on him.

317 NATO made sense in bolstering post-WWII Europe until it recovered and thwarting Soviet Russia expansion. The economic necessity ended in the 70s and the military necessity ended when the USSR collapsed. Since then it has used US generosity as an entitlement that allowed Europe to pursue snuffing out its Western heritage, and as of late, handing the continent over to third world Islamic invaders.

Trump has it dead right - The USA by necessity needs to wash its hands of the Europe where it can and then use those resources to solidify control over the western hemisphere's energy supplies and strategic geographic resources.

It isn't that USA is suddenly unreliable. Rather this is the USA accepting that Europe is headed into a prolonged cultural, economic, and strategic decline rendering it an increasingly inept and incapable ally.

All Trump is doing is accepting this reality and doing everything possible to secure the long term future of the USA as an ongoing superpower. This is not optional because the Chicoms prime objective is the ensure USA fails at this. And odds on, when it gets rough, Europe won't be around to help.

Considering the amount of voter fraud, those margins might have been wider. With any luck, we'll have some types of voter fraud closed off by 2028 and we'll have a more realistic election, i.e., one in which maybe half the country votes.

I think Rubio could heat up an election by campaigning in Spanish and (my dream) debating AOC in Spanish, if they're both the veep selections.

340 There is a more basic reason that the left can't have a Trump.

Trump can to prominence by agreeing to do the things that right leaning voters wanted. Since the GOPe wasn't doing that he was able to supplant them.

Now, many D voters would also claim their party isn't doing what they want but...would have trouble explaining what that might be.

Because the left follows the narrative that comes out of the D party anyway. So they just say they want want the people that control the D party say they want.

Today its illegals and trannies rights. Yesterday it was a living wage and cracking down on men treating women badly. Tomorrow it will be something else completely. And the D voters will just pretend they've always wanted those new things whatever they might be...

341 Hilarious, Ace, that Newsom's whiney speech got cancelled.

I needed that snicker. If his hair did catch on fire in anger it had plenty of grease to make it worse.

He really thinks he's special, the narcissistic fag. And that no other governors (I guess) were invited because he's so fabulous. All he was going to do was complain about President Trump anyway.

After throwing CA into a ton of debt, yeah, he really knows about money. Ask him about the speed train to nowhere. Or the burned up parts of his state. Or the reservoirs that are dry. Or how his state is crime free and debt free.

342 >>> If Bernie ran now and said that Trump was right about immigration, you know, his 2016 stance, the left would turn on him.

Crowder has been running old clips of OBAMA saying the same thing Trump is now on immigration. He used rampant immigration (I think he quoted 5 million illegals came in) as a cudgel to say that Dubya the Bushitler and the republicans were exploiting brown people, due to crony greed. So we should vote for him to plug the hole and fix it.

Cut to Biden's time as POTUS...20–30 million illegals flowed over the border, most likely. And the democrats were all on board with the brown people coming here to be exploited, due to crony greed.

The left SHOULD turn on Obama and they won't. Luckily he's waning in influence and power.

We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.

We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors.

What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals.

It doesn't get them more votes. It isn't some core thing they believe in because the normal pattern is they've said the exact opposite repeatedly in the past.

Either favors/threats are being called in or some percentage of R office holders regularly flake out and make what are obvious mistakes in their own voting patterns on a regular basis. You don't get to be a Senator by not understanding politics or making a bunch of political mistakes.

Bill and Hillary Clinton: We Won't Testify, But If One Single Congessman Comes to NY, Bill Alone Will Sit For Some Questions, as Long as There Is No Recording and No Transcript

Comer rejected the "counter-offer."

Apparently decrepit alcoholic lesbian Hillary Clinton really doesn't want to be asked about her visits to Pedo Island.

"Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons' lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only," Comer revealed in a post on X. The conditions only got worse from there. "No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons' ridiculous offer."

Comer added, "The Clintons' latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment."

Comer pointed out that the subpoenas came from a bipartisan House Oversight Committee and required sworn, transcribed depositions, and an informal, off-the-record chat fails to meet even the lowest standard of oversight. "Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result," Comer said.


...

"The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein's crimes," he said.

...

Of course, Hillary Clinton also remains squarely in the committee's sights. Comer laid out why her testimony matters and why a closed-door, casual conversation fails to satisfy the committee's responsibility. "Former Secretary Clinton's on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee's investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government's work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family's relationship with Mr. Epstein," he said.

The Committee will now hold hearings on whether or not to refer the Clintons to the DOJ for prosecution. I sure hope it's a short hearing.

She severed it because the Don told her bad news she could not win a statewide race in GA and then she sicced Code Pink on him at a restaurant.

The rest of it was simply being the person she really was--an accidental congress critter that was overmatched by its low bar on competence. She screwed her constituents too by resigning early.

127 109 Republicans are just trying to deflect attention from the Epstein files by talking to the Clintons about Epstein!

I'm extremely entertained at how much the Dem base is hanging on to "the Epstein Files will prove Trump raped everything that moves and his grandkids are also his kids" even while some elected Dems have slowly backed away from it.

Epstein was only and always an online exclusive obsession.

No material constituency voted on it.

It was, at best, supporting evidence one way or another for people already having made up their mind about particular politicians.

Elected officials obsessing over online exclusive obsessions just creates noise that most people filter out.

137 [Tangentially Scum-Related:]

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom at the World Economic Forum in Davos, calling him "economically illiterate" and comparing him to "Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken." Bessent claimed Newsom "may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris" and accused him of being out of touch while "hobnobbing with the global elite" amid California's ongoing homelessness and budget challenges.

Bessent also mocked Newsom’s social media suggestion that California could withhold federal tax payments in response to potential funding cuts, calling it a "reckless" threat of criminal tax evasion. He stated, “Governor @GavinNewsom is threatening to commit criminal tax evasion. His plan: defraud the American taxpayer and leave California residents on the hook for unpaid federal taxes.”

Different committees Piper. Comer is chair of House Oversight, Omar goes to Ethics Committee for investigation, not Oversight. Covid would normally be an issue in Health Committees.

So it is not an all or nothing sort of deal. Given Congress is doing an imitation of King Log under GOP leadership and struggling to pass spending bills for the rest of government for FY 2026 (Mainly a Senate issue, not House), the House committees might as well blow up the Dems equation of Trump with the Epstein bill by dragging Bill and Hill before the House committees and making the Dems eat a shit sandwich.

Well, as I noted elsewhere - the Illinois Constitution says they must be paid, and so they will be paid before everyone else, in full, until someone has the balls to change it. The first step will be a State Supreme Court Justice ordering a 50% increase in the state sales and income tax.

They will be paid first, because to not do so is unconstitutional in the state.

You don't get privilege for actions after the presidency. You are a common citizen.

Most of the Epstein visits involved a post Clinton presidency and his Global Foundation fundraising and actions.

Haven't seen as it raised yet as an issue whether Trump removes presidential privilege for testimony over Clinton's term in office as only the current president may justify privilege for a past one (new precedents from Jan 6).

I think most of this mercenary transactionism was always there. Social media has just made it so acceptable now that it's actually something that's flaunted. "Hell yea, I want upfront payment from men before I go on a date! That's how much I'm worth. They're all pigs anyway!"

The public airing of dirty laundry that was once swept under the rug has a vicious-circle aspect, bringing everyone down. Young men and boys see this and think "damn, all women are whores," and start treating them that way. Young ladies and girls react to this by thinking men are pigs, and only useful for extracting money from. And it spirals down from there.

Twas an op. And to some extent, many of those pushing that were after Israel because they blamed Mossad for it. Personally, I think Epstein was likely more to be a money launderer as hedge fund manager for intel agencies and Ghislaine's father was an MI-6 agent of influence (became friends with Breznev to the dismay of KGB). Plus British security services keep the Royal Family surveilled and managed for the sovereign to keep problems from happening.

So MI-5 and 6 knew about Epstein, perhaps employed him as an agent, and yet felt it okay to let Andrew screw underage types.

Undoubtedly reports went to the Queen about it.

Kallisto,
Clinton probably did worse as governor. I had two young female HS students that recounted being hit on by Bill at an official state function recognizing high performing students. They were 17. Clinton invited them to come up to his suite at the Excelsior Hotel (same place he showed his dingus to Paula Jones). They didn't but I'd be willing to imagine that some took him up on the offer.

He and Hillary were slimy but Bill was charming as a snake could be normally but turned vicious if challenged. I worked at the time for a Arkansas Congress critter and then off and on for that guy in elections. Got more stories--Billy Jeff went AWOL at a local university and the local head of teh campus democrats, a personal friend, had to deal with Killary's raging to my friend about where Bill was. Bill was getting some from the young college girls that his security deal had procured for him.

Her name carries with it a stigma and every time she tried to do anything, she was accused of capitalizing on her name and the scandal. It’s her stinking name! She is doing a podcast now, maybe?

Is it oversight of the DOJ and Federal Law enforcment? Is it determination as to whether it offered a security threat?

Yes, plenty of blame to go around for both of them. I'd love to see Monica come forward with her real story, as Piper described it -- unable to marry, enjoy a career or a public life or a social presence that isn't sharply defined by her episode with Bill -- all because of a serious misjudgment and a turn away from basic morality. That's the podcast she should do, advising young women to be disciplined and focused.

Is it a crime? Maybe. Maybe not. But the person who HAS the power is always guilty of exploiting his/her position for sexual gain, and if it's a work relationship, it warrants at least being fired, if not prosecuted.

Yup. It's a juvenile joke. "304' on an old-fashioned calculator looks like "hoe" when you turn it upside down, and hoe = 'ho = whore.

It made a resurgence because of silent internet censorship on platforms like YouTube. "Hoe" or "Ho" or "Whore" might get your comment suppressed or your videos search-suppressed. "304," though, is just a string of numbers.

Kinda like how "killed" got replaced with "unalived" and "suicide" got replaced with "self-deletion" on YouTube. They are ways of end-running automatic censorship systems.

I will say this...while asylums are needed, they NEED to be heavily monitored and free of corruption.

I mentioned in a book thread a few weeks ago "The Woman they Could Not Silence." Back in the Civil War era, if you were a man, you could get your wife locked away in an asylum for anything. Even just thinking too much. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an asylum by her husband for disagreeing with him on religion and politics. (He was all fire and brimstone, and she believed in a more loving God. And he flip flopped to be pro slavery to appeal to rich patrons financing his church, and she was adamantly anti-slavery. Her views caused embarrassment to him in front of his flock, so he got a crooked doctor and a sham trial to get her thrown into an asylum.)

There is corruption and abuse in the mental health and incarceration system already. How do you protect the most vulnerable people in asylums when the system is corrupt?

I don't think anything Bill did with Monica was illegal. She was of consenting age and made her choices.

What Bill did, though, should have completely disqualified him from holding any office or position of power at all.

It wasn't just that Bill deliberately targeted an insecure, eager-to-please intern, knowing that such women are easier targets. Unlike Trump, who targeted supermodels and playboy playmates, Bill almost always went after easier game like Monica.

He then lied about it, through his teeth, and exposed himself as completely untrustworthy. He should have been thrown out of office on his ass.

Thomas Reeves "A Question of Character" JFK biography has a great story about his dad Joe playing tennis with a very young woman, bringing her home to a women's party Rose was throwing


I prefer the story of how Old Joe got to be Ambassador to Great Britain, a post that he wanted BADLY because he hated the Limeys. FDR didn't want to give him the post, but because of Joe's previous support and money, he had to at least interview him for the position.

So in the middle of the meeting with Joe, FDR and FDR's son James, FDR tells Joe to stand up and drop trou. Confused, Joe obeys and drops his pants. FDR starts laughing, pointing at Joe saying "SEE? SEE? I TOLD YOU IT WAS TRUE!" FDR explained that they had a mutual friend who had been swimming with Joe and the kids, and he'd observed that Joe was the most bow-legged man he'd ever seen.

FDR explained that if he sent Joe to the King in period dress, complete with leggings, he'd be the laughing stock of the world. Joe responded (pissed) that if he could talk the Brits into allowing him to present himself in modern diplomatic wear (striped pants, tails, top hat), could he have the position. FDR agreed thinking that Joe couldn't

Lincoln provoked that one. Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, etc. were hesitating to join the Deep Southern states in seceding but Lincoln demanded that these states provide their state militias to invade those states wanting to leave.

That broke the logjam (and broke Virginia in half eventually).

Lincoln has a pretty big share of the blame for the bloody civil war along with the fireeaters. Inexperienced politically isolated president overwhelmed by the office is my assessment.

He grew into the office but once the fighting started, it was impossible to stop. Wars are easy to get into but hard to get out of.

Tell me about how he had no real power over her or anyone else in the White House.

Maybe she loses an internship, but the real damage would be that he blackballs her from any decent job in the DC political world, which is undoubtedly where someone interning in the WH is aspiring to.

Also, it's like saying a CEO doesn't have any power over his secretary and it's totes cool to bend her over the conference table. After all if she gets fired it was a low-paying admin job and she can just get another one, right?

swing it. But somehow (probably bribery), the Brits cabled the State Dept saying that the new ambassador could present himself in modern diplomatic clothes, rather than the traditional period costume. FDR was stuck, and gave Joe the post.

Of course, Joe turned out to be a shitty ambassador, with lots of family drama because his son Jack was screwing every British bird in London (including what turned out to be a Nazi double-agent), and had to join the Navy to get out of Great Britain but that's another story.

And yet society seems comfortable with schools protecting female predators in K-12 education and I suspect if you had a female president with a 21 year old male intern, that suddenly it would be okay.

Most bullshit about the sexes are lies we tell ourselves to justify what we think.

My argument is that such societal and legal rules should be open, public, stipulated and enforced equally. If a 30 year old female teacher seduces a 16 year old, then she goes to the chokey for the same length of time just the same as a 30 male mechanic goes after a 16 year old Lolita.

And I also think any female or male sexing up their boss also gets the boot along with the boss. If they want to hanky panky, one or both of them can damn well leave the company before starting it.

469 424 The issue wasn't age between Monica and Clinton, it was position, powerful male taking advantage of a powerless female

The issue should be about what he factually did do:
1. 72Hrs of phone sex while on duty much of which occurred on AF1, and continued even after he knew the Russians had intercepted it.

2. Disgrace His office and Betray us all -- the First Elected President neither President Nor Leader of a Free World

3. Vandalize the Whitehouse on his exit, doorknobs, typerwiters, phone lines

4. The Clinton Global Catastrophe

5. Open the door to a Glasnost to Terror the likes of which the world has never seen.

Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans." -- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.

To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK -- OBAMA'09

what is the vital national interest? -- IceKingJOE who enabled precisely that!

including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in six elections: Two for president; two for the Parliament, the Majlis; two for the mayoralties. In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own.” -- Bill Clinton'05

Palestinians elected Hamas because they promised to make the buses run on time -- Bill Clinton'06

it would be wrong to cut off contact with the terror group just because they may have killed people "in a way that we hate." -- Bill Clinton'06

I tried to represent a better America when I was president. But now I don't have to... -- Bill Clinton'06
